SimpleXML and ADO XML

I've spent an hour trying to make SimpleXML work until I realized the
problem seems to be namespaces. This code:

<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file('foo.xml');
print_r($xml);
?>

works fine, unless the XML file contains tags with colons, e.g.:

<rs:data>

In this case, I get an empty object. What am I missing?


I need to parse third-party XML files. I believe it's ADO XML:
