如何使用命名空间获取属性的值

Question

I'd like to get the content of the attribute xsi:schemaLocation. It's works perfectly with getElementsByTagName in php (and foreach after) but it's ugly, right ?

How to get the same content with a simple Xpath query ?

Here a short example of the xml content :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<gpx xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="1.0" creator="blabla" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1 http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1/cache.xsd" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0">
...
</gpx>

Thanks!

Using the SimpleXMLElement class you can easily get the attribute xsi:schemaLocation's value:

<?php
$xml = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<gpx xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="1.0" creator="blabla" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1 http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1/cache.xsd" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0">
</gpx>
XML;

$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
$schemaLocation = $sxe->attributes('xsi', true)->schemaLocation;

echo (string) $schemaLocation;
