I'm trying trying to use simplexml to read a feedburner xml. I can read every properties in the xml but not the keys with ':' in it. Example "feedburner:origLink". When I vardump the items, those keys with : doesn't show up. And I can't do like $s->item->feedburner:origLink.

You're dealing with namespaces, and this Sitepoint article looks like a good long explanation. Or for a more concise version, look here in the PHP SimpleXML docs.
From the docs:
<?php $xml = '<example xmlns:foo="my.foo.urn"> <foo:a>Apple</foo:a> <foo:b>Banana</foo:b> <c>Cherry</c> </example>'; $sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xml); $kids = $sxe->children('foo'); var_dump(count($kids)); $kids = $sxe->children('foo', TRUE); var_dump(count($kids)); $kids = $sxe->children('my.foo.urn'); var_dump(count($kids)); $kids = $sxe->children('my.foo.urn', TRUE); var_dump(count($kids)); $kids = $sxe->children(); var_dump(count($kids)); ?> Outputs:
int(0) int(2) int(2) int(0) int(1)

If you're lazy and don't mind using google webservices, here's an easy way to get the full contents of a feedburner (or other) feed into php:
You can then just json_decode it and it's all there in your object/array.

Agree, It is really an easy way to get the full contents of a feedburner. Open a wide flexibility for a customized display.
