Accesing nodes like ns:stuff

I see in your docs that you said you will add a way to access nodes by converting ns:stuff to ns_stuff. Has this been done yet? If not is there any way to access this using your current code base? Thanks for all our hard work, it is greatly appreciated.

FYI: found a work around by type casting the SimpleXMLObject to an array, this allowed me to access these nodes. (ex: $array = (array)$object; )

thats interesting :) I didn't thought like that before.. btw i did what you said in your first message but i think i forgot to post it here :) thats not so hard all you need is to edit array_insert function and add a replace function before building the code to be eval'd.

this what I do:

$data = $sxml -> xml_load_file ($file);
echo "ns:stuff".$data->{'ns:stuff'}

in essence make an array with the content of 'ns:stuff' string.


It is excellent class as alternative for simplexml in PHP4, I wish there is a simple documentation with many example just like the way people explain in php.org

I have to do some experimentation to understand how to retrieve data.

Well...
While I was typing this post to get some help, I figured out how to get namespaces working.
echo $item->{"name:space"};
I spent about an hour trying to figure out why the previous example of $data->{'ns:stuff'} wasn't working.
Hehehe...

Example xml...
<rss>
<channel>
<item>
<title>Title</title>
<mlm:location>Branson, MO</mlm:location>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

Example code...
<?php echo $item->{"mlm:location"}; ?>

Example output...
Branson, MO
