How can one effectively iterate through XML structures with namespaces in PHP?

When iterating through XML structures with namespaces in PHP, you can use the `SimpleXMLElement` class along with the `children()` method to access elements within namespaces. By specifying the namespace when accessing elements, you can effectively iterate through the XML structure and retrieve the necessary data. 

$xml = '<root xmlns:ns="http://example.com"><ns:element>Value</ns:element></root>';
$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);

$namespaces = $sxe->getNamespaces(true);
$ns = $sxe->children($namespaces['ns']);

foreach ($ns as $element) {
    echo $element . "\n";
}
