PHP - Manual: DOMXPath::evaluate

DOMXPath::evaluate

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

DOMXPath::evaluate — Evaluates the given XPath expression and returns a typed result if possible

说明

public DOMXPath::evaluate(string $expression, ?DOMNode $contextNode = null, bool $registerNodeNS = true): mixed

Executes the given XPath expression and returns a typed result if possible.

参数

expression: The XPath expression to execute.
contextNode: The optional contextNode can be specified for doing relative XPath queries. By default, the queries are relative to the root element.
registerNodeNS: The optional registerNodeNS can be specified to disable automatic registration of the context node.

返回值

Returns a typed result if possible or a DOMNodeList containing all nodes matching the given XPath expression.

If the expression is malformed or the contextNode is invalid, DOMXPath::evaluate() returns false.

范例

示例 #1 Getting the count of all the english books


<?php

$doc = new DOMDocument;

$doc->load('book.xml');

$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);

$tbody = $doc->getElementsByTagName('tbody')->item(0);

// our query is relative to the tbody node
$query = 'count(row/entry[. = "en"])';

$entries = $xpath->evaluate($query, $tbody);
echo "There are $entries english books\n";

?>

以上例程会输出：

There are 2 english books

Note that this method does not provide any means to distinguish between a successful result that returns FALSE and an error.

For example, this will succeed and return FALSE:

<?php $xpath->evaluate("1 = 0"); ?>

One workaround when you know you are expecting a Boolean is to wrap the result with string(). e.g.

<?php $xpath->evaluate("string(1 = 0)"); ?>

This will return a string "false" on success, or the Boolean FALSE on error.

If your expression returns a node set, you will get a DOMNodeList instead of a typed result. Instead, try modifying your expression from "//node[1]" to "string(//node[1])".

this class can substitute the method evaluate while it is not validated. Made for Yuri Bastos and Jo�o Gilberto Magalh�es.

To query DOMNodes by their HTML classes, use such snippet
<?php

// CssClassXPathSelector
function ccxs($class) {
    return '[contains(concat(" ", normalize-space(@class), " "), " ' . $class . ' ")]';
}

// then just
$domitems = $this->xpath("//*[@id='searchResultsRows']//a" . ccxs('listing_row'));
?>

The only way how to distinguish FALSE returned value from syntax error FALSE is to re-run the XPath expression wrapped in string() function. If must return empty string. If it returns FALSE again then it is an error.

<?php

        $ret=$this->xp->evaluate($eval, $context);

        // Error detection: DOMXPath::evaluate() returns FALSE on error 
        // so does DOMXPath::evaluate("boolean(/nothing)") 
        // @workaround webdevelopers.eu
        if ($ret === false && $this->xp->evaluate("string($eval)", $context) === false) { 
            throw new Exception("Invalid XPath expression ".json_encode($eval), 3491);
        }
?>
