Question

Im having a problem getting a namespaced (Or semi-colin’) item with PHP’s SimpleXML. I’ve done a little digging through google and tried the likes if asXML but im back at square one.

The part I can’t get < content:encoded >

http://content.sportsdatallc.com/?feed=rss2&cat=364

PHP

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response, LIBXML_NOCDATA);
print_r($xml);

I can get all the nodes that I need, except for that piece above. If i print_r it doesnt showup.

I have also tried this:

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response, LIBXML_NOCDATA);
foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item)
{
    echo 11;
    $art = $item->children('content:encoded');
    print_r($art);
}

Answer 1

Simple solution str_replace the content:encoded with content.

$xml = str_replace('content:encoded>', 'content>', $xml);

It may not be the best solution but it is simple and it works 🙂
