This is the result:
Warning: SimpleXMLElement::xpath() [simplexmlelement.xpath]: Undefined namespace prefix in /home/ugbosnia/public_html/blocks/weather/block.php on line 8
Warning: SimpleXMLElement::xpath() [simplexmlelement.xpath]: xmlXPathEval: evaluation failed in /home/ugbosnia/public_html/blocks/weather/block.php on line 8
Any suggestion?
The channel is not a child node of the document element. If you read the XML the document element is query with a child results. I suggest storing the channel in its own variable:
$channel = $xml->results->channel;
You will have to register the namespace on each SimpleXMLElement before you use its xpath() method. In your case you register it on the $xml, But you do not register it on the $channel or $item objects.
$xml = simplexml_load_string($result);
$channel = $xml->results->channel;
$channel->registerXPathNamespace('yweather', 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0');
$weather_location = $channel->xpath('yweather:location');
if(!empty($weather_location)){
foreach($channel->item as $item){
$item->registerXPathNamespace('yweather', 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0');
$forecast = $item->xpath('yweather:forecast');
var_dump($forecast);
}
}
Output:
array(10) {
[0]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#8 (1) {
["@attributes"]=>
array(6) {
["code"]=>
string(2) "30"
["date"]=>

}
}

...
DOM uses a separate object for the XPath expressions, so you will only have to register the namespace on this object:
$document = new DOMDocument();
$document->loadXml($result);
$xpath = new DOMXpath($document);
$xpath->registerNamespace('yweather', 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0');
$weather_location = $xpath->evaluate('//yweather:location');
