Demonstrates new features added in Chilkat v9.5.0.77 for helping with namespace prefixed tags. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

// Create this XML.
// Use this online tool to generate the code from sample XML:
// Generate Code to Create XML

//    xmlns:scm="http://www.springcm.com/atlas/webservices/v201308/scm/">
