<?php

// First create some XML using namespace prefixed tags.

// Create this XML. 
// Use this online tool to generate the code from sample XML: 
// Generate Code to Create XML

// <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
//    xmlns:scm="http://www.springcm.com/atlas/webservices/v201308/scm/">
//    <soapenv:Header/>
//    <soapenv:Body>
//       <scm:AccountGetCurrent>
//          <scm:token>123</scm:token>
//       </scm:AccountGetCurrent>
//    </soapenv:Body>
// </soapenv:Envelope>

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Xml')
$xml = new COM("Chilkat.Xml");
$xml->Tag = 'soapenv:Envelope';
$xml->AddAttribute('xmlns:soapenv','http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/');
$xml->AddAttribute('xmlns:scm','http://www.springcm.com/atlas/webservices/v201308/scm/');
$xml->UpdateChildContent('soapenv:Header','');
$xml->UpdateChildContent('soapenv:Body|scm:AccountGetCurrent|scm:token','123');

// Go to the "Body" tag, regardless of namespace prefix.
// xmlBody is a Chilkat.Xml
$xmlBody = $xml->FindChild('*:Body');
if ($xml->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    print 'Body child not found.' . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Get the full tag w/ namespace prefix:
// Output is "soapenv:Body"
print $xmlBody->Tag . "\n";

// Get the namespace prefix:
// Output is "soapenv"
print $xmlBody->TagNsPrefix . "\n";

// Get the unprefixed tag:
// Output is "Body"
print $xmlBody->TagUnprefixed . "\n";

// Check to see if the unprefixed tag equals "Body"
$isBodyTag = $xmlBody->TagUnpEquals('Body');
print 'isBodyTag = ' . $isBodyTag . "\n";

// Check to see if the namespace prefix equals "soapenv";
$isSoapenv = $xmlBody->TagNsEquals('soapenv');
print 'isSoapenv = ' . $isSoapenv . "\n";

// Change just the namespace prefix of the tag
$xmlBody->TagNsPrefix = 'se';
// The tag has changed from "soapenv:Body" to "se:Body"
print $xmlBody->Tag . "\n";

// Change the unprefixed part of the tag.
$xmlBody->TagUnprefixed = 'Bodie';
// The tag has changed from "se:Body" to "se:Bodie"
