Nigel, I'm not sure the problem lies in my XML files, I think it lies in the way I didn't modify my php file. At : http://www.interpasnet.com/1.N.5/examples/government/index.php You'll find Michael P. Mehl. government example with only two changes : 1) call to (include) php file xplath.class.php instead of xml.php 2) call to class XPath instead of XML (like in $xml = new XPath($file);) try it with for example the key word "Gerhard" The result is the same : phpXML error: While parsing an XPath expression there was an error in the predicate "Gerhard", because it was the null string. If you wish to seach for the empty string, you must use ''.
