[SOLVED] Parsing XML With : In Tag Names

[keithodulaigh.com]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to parse the XML document that I've attached. The problem is the tags have : in their name, for example: <dc:title>bla bla bla</dc:title>

 

Simple XML won't load the file without errors (it complains about some of the URLs in the document.) I've also tried the XML parser that I downloaded from here: http://www.criticaldevelopment.net/xml/doc.php (The download link is tucked away in the top left corner.)

 

The above parser loads the document without error. To retrieve the value inside <dc:title>value</dc:title> would require me writing something like: $parser->document->...->dc:title[0]->tagData; which I can't do.

 

Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks in advance,

Keith

 

PS:

I know I could use string replace to remove the : from the file but that's not desirable. The formatting of the document can't really be changed. It's the format used by Fedora Commons' Open Source Digital Repository. (http://www.fedora-commons.org/)

It's okay now, I spoke to the author of that XML parser and he told me that when I want to access tags with : in them to just replace the : with _ and to write in lowercase. All is working now!

 

Thanks.
