Creating attribute in domdocument

I have to make this type of XML :-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

   <url>

      <loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>

      <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>

      <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>

      <priority>0.8</priority>

   </url>

   <url>

      <loc>http://www.example.com/catalog?item=12&amp;desc=vacation_hawaii</loc>

      <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>

   </url>
</urlset>

For which I have written this code, 

 $dom = new domDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
      $dom->formatOutput = true; 
$rootElement = $dom->createElementNS('http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9', 'urlset');
      $sxe = simplexml_import_dom( $dom );
      $urlMain = $sxe->addChild("url");
      $loc = $urlMain->addChild("loc","http://www.example.com");
      $lastmod = $urlMain->addChild("lastmod","$date");
      $changefreq = $urlMain->addChild("changefreq","daily");
      $priority = $urlMain->addChild("priority","1");

Everything works completely fine, but for some reason xmlns for urlset is not getting added. What might be wrong here? Any suggestion would be helpful.

You need to append the root element to the document prior to conversion to simplexml:

$rootElement = $dom->createElementNS('http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9', 'urlset');
$dom->appendChild($rootElement);
$sxe = simplexml_import_dom( $dom );
