Answer 1

I would do it dynamically.

$xml = @simplexml_load_string($path) // loads your valid xml data
foreach($xml->channel->item as $entry) {

  $namespaces = $entry->getNameSpaces(true);
  foreach($namespaces as $ns=>$value)
  {
    $job = $entry->children($namespaces[$ns]);
    $author = (string)$job->creator;

    if ($author != "")
    {
      $someVariable = (string) $dc->creator;
    }
}
