Hello, I have a small problem and I have been searching for hours. While I have found many results. I really haven't found one that works with the code I am currently using or I am just not knowledgeable enough about it. I am using SimpleXML to parse a XML feed. I have never used SimpleXML so I decided on this current script I would give it a shot. This is the structure of the XML I am working with below. The elements with the namespaces I am needing is <cap:event>, <cap:effective>, <cap:expires>, <cap:severity> <entry> <id>http://alerts.weather.gov/cap/wwacapget.php?x=TX124EFFB832F0.SpecialWeatherStatement.124EFFB84164TX.LUBSPSLUB.ac20a1425c958f66dc159baea2f9e672</id> <updated>2013-05-06T20:08:00-05:00</updated> <published>2013-05-06T20:08:00-05:00</published> <author> <name>w-nws.webmaster@noaa.gov</name> </author> <title>Special Weather Statement issued May 06 at 8:08PM CDT by NWS</title> <link href="http://alerts.weather.gov/cap/wwacapget.php?x=TX124EFFB832F0.SpecialWeatherStatement.124EFFB84164TX.LUBSPSLUB.ac20a1425c958f66dc159baea2f9e672"/> <summary>...SIGNIFICANT WEATHER ADVISORY FOR COCHRAN AND BAILEY COUNTIES...

It does exactly what I need it to do. My question is, what do I need to do to parse the elements with namespaces cap: with the including code below? ini_set('display_errors','1'); $tdata = ""; $data = "http://alerts.weather.gov/cap/tx.php?x=1"; $entries = simplexml_load_file($data); if(count($entries)): //Registering NameSpace $entries->registerXPathNamespace('prefix', 'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'); $result = $entries->xpath("//prefix:entry"); foreach ($result as $entry): $title = $entry->title; $summary = $entry->summary; $tdata .= "<p><strong>$title</strong></p><p>$summary</p><hr/>"; endforeach; endif; Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I have gotten this far and I can't seem to tackle this last small obstacle. -Thanks
