I have given same type of answer here – solution to your question
You just need to register Namespace and then you can work normally with simplexml_load_file and XPath
<?php
$data = "http://alerts.weather.gov/cap/tx.php?x=1";
$entries = file_get_contents($data);
$entries = new SimpleXmlElement($entries);
if(count($entries)):
//echo "<pre>";print_r($entries);die;
//alternate way other than registring NameSpace
//$asin = $asins->xpath("//*[local-name() = 'ASIN']");
$entries->registerXPathNamespace('prefix', 'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom');
$result = $entries->xpath("//prefix:entry");
//echo count($asin);
//echo "<pre>";print_r($result);die;
foreach ($result as $entry):
//echo "<pre>";print_r($entry);die;
$dc = $entry->children('urn:oasis:names:tc:emergency:cap:1.1');
echo $dc->event."<br/>";
echo $dc->effective."<br/>";
echo "<hr>";
endforeach;
endif;
That’s it.
