)Starts a namespaced element.
xmlwriterOnly for procedural calls. The XMLWriter resource that is being modified. This resource comes from a call to xmlwriter_open_uri() or xmlwriter_open_memory().
prefixThe namespace prefix.
nameThe element name.
uriThe namespace URI.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
by default, the xmlns: definition is repeated on every element.
if you do want the prefix, but dont want the xmlns: declaration repeated, set the namespace to null. dont forget to declare the namespace prefix somewhere higher in your document, though:
<?php
$w->startElementNS('foo', 'bar', 'http://example.com/foo');
$w->startElementNS('foo', 'baz', null);
$w->endElement();
$w->endElement();
?>
If you don't want any namespace prefix at all but still want the xmlns attribute, set $prefix to null.
