Using xpath on a PHP SimpleXML object, SOAP + namespaces (not working..)

Question

After researching this on SO and google for hours now... I hope to get some help here: (I am just one step away from running a regex to remove the namespaces completely)

Answer 1

The multiple namespaces are messing with it, adding the following works for me

$response->registerXPathNamespace("site", "http://webservices.site.com/definitions");
$_res = $response->xpath('//site:SessionId');
