How to get to the value of an XML element if there is a prefix (:) in it?

Question

PHP

You need to get the value of the f:length XML element from the following code.
(The colon interferes. Escaping with a slash does not work.)

<f:table>
   <f:name>Африканский кофейный столик</f:name>
   <f:width>80</f:width>
   <f:length>120</f:length>
</f:table>

in php I write the following line:

$smpl_xml=simplexml_load_file($dirLocal.$value);
       
$nado_length = $smpl_xml->f:table->f:length;

Works if there is no colon:
$nado_length = $smpl_xml->ftable->flength;
How can you escape ":" ?
