I know this has been asked many many times but I haven't been able to get any of the suggestions to work with my situation and I have searched the web and here and tried everything and anything and nothing works. I just need to parse this XML with the namespace cap: and just need four entries from it.

I am using simpleXML and I have a small simple test script set up and it works great for parsing regular elements. I can't for the dickens of me find or get a way to parse the elements with the namespaces.
Here is a small sample test script with code I am using and works great for parsing simple elements. How do I use this to parse namespaces? Everything I've tried doesn't work. I need it to be able to create variables so I can be able to embed them in HTML for style.
<?php
$html = "";
// Get the XML Feed
$data = "http://alerts.weather.gov/cap/tx.php?x=1";
// load the xml into the object
$xml = simplexml_load_file($data);
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++){
$title = $xml->entry[$i]->title;
$summary = $xml->entry[$i]->summary;
$html .= "<p><strong>$title</strong></p><p>$summary</p><hr/>";
}
echo $html;
?>
This works fine for parsing regular elements but what about the ones with the cap: namespace under the entry parent?
<?php
ini_set('display_errors','1');
$html = "";
$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 = $entries->xpath("//prefix:entry");
//echo count($asin);
//echo "<pre>";print_r($asin);
foreach ($result as $entry):
$title = $entry->title;
$summary = $entry->summary;
$html .= "<p><strong>$title</strong></p><p>$summary</p>$event<hr/>";
endforeach;
endif;
echo $html;
?>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Thanks
