Parse XML with Namespace using SimpleXML

Question

I have this as xml:

    
        &         


        

Answer 1

Another approach is to use SimpleXML for parsing and DOMDocument for manipulation/access, which bypasses namespacing issues altogether:

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($r);
$xml = dom_import_simplexml($xml);
$nodelist= $xml->getElementsByTagName('event');  
for($i = 0; $i < $nodelist->length; $i++) {
    $sessions = $nodelist->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('sessionKey');
    echo $sessions->item(0)->nodeValue;
}
