Namespace prefix problem parsing google calendar

[bsyapril88]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm attempting to parse through the google calendar feed.  The problem comes with parsing the "where" tag.  When an address is in the "where" it comes back blank; however, when it is just a word, it works fine.

 

It seems that with an address google adds a  <georss:where> tag on top of the normal <gd:where> tag making the php check the wrong tag.

 

I have been experimenting with getElementsByTagNameNS() but I keep getting errors.  What's the proper way to grab the "gd:where" and not the "georss:where".

 

The PHP:

$entries = $doc->getElementsByTagName( "entry" ); 
foreach ( $entries as $entry ) { 
...
$places = $entry->getElementsByTagName("where"); 			
$where = $places->item(1)->getAttributeNode("valueString")->value;

 

 

The XML:

 

<georss:where>
      <gml:Point>
        <gml:pos>46.46261 -109.39144</gml:pos>
      </gml:Point>
    </georss:where>
    <gd:eventStatus value='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.confirmed'/>
    <gd:transparency value='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.transparent'/>
    <gCal:uid value='[email protected]'/>
    <gCal:sequence value='2'/>
    <gd:when startTime='2009-09-08T10:00:00.000-04:00' endTime='2009-09-08T11:00:00.000-04:00'/>
    <gd:who rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.organizer' valueString='UF Theatre Department Dates of Interest' email='[email protected]'/>
    <gd:where valueString='1004 1st Dr. Orlando, FL 32809'/>
