## Description

class SimpleXMLElement {
array getNamespaces ( [bool recursive] )
}

  If specified, returns all namespaces used in parent and child nodes. Otherwise, returns only namespaces used in root node.

## Return Values

The getNamespaces method returns an array of namespace names with their associated URIs.

## Examples

Example 1. Get document namespaces in use
`<?php $xml = <<<XML <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <people xmlns:p="http://example.org/ns" xmlns:t="http://example.org/test"> <p:person id="1">John Doe</p:person> <p:person id="2">Susie Q. Public</p:person> </people> XML; $sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xml); $namespaces = $sxe->getNamespaces(TRUE); var_dump($namespaces); ?>`

    }
