How to add namespace with SimpleXML in PHP

Question

I will have to produce this XML using simpleXML in php:

<fr:program name="fundref">
  <fr:assertion name="funder_name">ABC Inc.
    <fr:assertion name="funder_identifier">http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/xxxxxxxxxx</fr:assertion>
  </fr:assertion>    
  <fr:assertion name="award_number">BXDFSDS</fr:assertion>
</fr:program>

I tried:

$fundRef = $myXML->addChild('fr', '', 'program');

But this is creating:

<fr xmlns="program" name="fundref">

Thank you.

I did a little of research and the few minutes I spent looking for it shows that it's going to be hard. Did you tried `$fundRef = $myXML->addChild('fr:program', '');`? (probably won't work) — Ismael Miguel, Jul 30 '14 at 09:03
Yes, as you mentioned, your example is not working. Why posting this comment if you think that it will be hard and not work ;) — Milos Cuculovic, Jul 30 '14 at 09:31
Well, better than being shut. At least I'm trying to provide some help or at least a path to follow. By the way, you have a spelling mistake on your first sentence. — Ismael Miguel, Jul 30 '14 at 09:41

You need to determine namespace like this

$myXML->addChild('fr:program', '', 'http://ololo.com/ns/1.0');
