I'm trying to parse XML feed with SimpleXML, here is a chunk of the XML tree:
<item> <game:name>Tetris</game:name> <game:desc>Way Cool Game</game:desc> <size>5mb</size> </item> Well actually, I can succesfully access 'size' with something like that: $item->size, but how do I get value? Of course I can't call like that: $item->game:name, and I don't know how what goes after ':' is called. Is it a parameter, attribute or what?
Thanks for advance!
Use the children() function to get the children of the namespace.
$useThis = $xmlDoc->children("http://game.namespace/");given that http://game.namespace is the URL to your game namespace in the root node.
Here's an explanation/sample:
You need to define the namespace for game. XML requires all namespaces to be defined. There have been several previous answers about using custom namespaces: i.e.
As for the getting the value of a SimpleXMLElement, you just cast it to a string:
$size_value = (string)$item->size;
