As you can see by looking at the backtrace, the exeption is thrown from DomXml->getElementById.

[b]DomXml->getElementById('log_errors')[/b]
[code]<?php
public function getElementById($id) {
if($this->domDoc->validate()) {
if(!$node = $this->domDoc->getElementById($id)) {
throw new Exception('Node not found.');
}
else {
return $node;
}
}
else {
return false;
}
}
?>[/code]

While:
[code]<error_flag id="log_errors">true</error_flag>[/code]
and the attribute id is specified to be of type ID:
[code]<!ENTITY % idattr "id ID #IMPLIED" >
<!ELEMENT error_flag (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST error_flag  %idattr; >[/code]

Obviously, the XML file validates, or the exeption could never have been thrown. I just don't get why I don't get the freakin node to return!

What the $#!@^&%? is going on?

I messed up the DTD intentionally to see what would happen:

[code]<!-- <!ELEMENT error_flag (#PCDATA)> -->
<!ATTLIST error_flag id ID #REQUIRED > [/code]

When tested with Dreamweavers validation it retruns the correct error: "unknown element error_flag" (before it didn't return anything), but when I try to run the test script, I get NO validation errors, just the same exeption! That doesn't make any sense!

Never mind, I'm an idiot.  ;D

In Env::__construct() I forget to load the XML file, so I was trying to get nodes out of an empty document... ::)
