parse xml namespace with php [duplicate]

This question already has answers here开发者_如何学C: Parse XML with Namespace using SimpleXML [duplicate] (6 answers) Closed 10 years ago.

I have been trying to extract data from this XML file from Google Calendar with not much success with the namespaced stuff.

It is just the gd and gCal data I am having problems with - I've searched all over and haven't been able to get it to work :(

Any help appreciated! :)

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:gCal='http://schemas.google.com/gCal/2005' xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'>

And the PHP code so far is:

<?php
$source = "data2.xml";
$xmlstr = file_get_contents($source);
$parseXMLFile = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
echo $parseXMLFile->id[0];
echo "<br>";
echo $parseXMLFile->title[0];
echo "<br>";
echo $parseXMLFile->content[0];
?>

Basically it recommends using an xPath call, eg.

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($r);

foreach($xml->xpath('//event:event') as $event) {
    var_export($event->xpath('event:sessionKey'));
}
