Test script:

Expected result:

        <user xsi:type="xsd:string">user</user>

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

children() and attributes(), as well as ->, will only return children/attributes of the "current namespace", which uses the default of xmlns="". To switch namespaces pass arguments.

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement("your XML", 0, false);
$body_node = $xml->children("soap", true)->Body;
$login_node = $body_node->children("q1", true)->login;
$user_node = $login_node->children("")->user;
