PHP SimpleXML objects with ":"

Question

This is first time I tried to use SimpleXML... normally I was parsing xml files with regexp, but time to learn something new...

I got XML that contains:

            <resData>
                    <something:infData xmlns:something="<censored>" xsi:schemaLocation="<censored>">
                            <something:name>hello this is my name</something:name>
                            <something:key>
                                    <something:token>fdba8ee15e4473e12ac342ae15acef2</something:token>
                            </something:key>
                    </something:infData>
            </resData>

I am parseing xml via simplexml_load_string() function...

I can get resData as SimpleXMLObject via $xml->resData ... but how do I get something:name and something:key -> something:token ? I cannot use $xml->resData->something:name as it throws an error.

I don't see answer to my question there... as getting list of objects is not what I need... still don't know how to get value from that thread. Could you please simply help me to get from given structure values of those two elements? — Flash Thunder, Nov 25 '13 at 13:01

The answer to my question is:

$xml->response->resData->children('something',true)->children('something',true)->name

$xml->response->resData->children('something',true)->children('something',true)->key->children('something',true)->token
