I'm trying to read an RSS feed from Flickr but it has some nodes which are not readable by Simple XML (media:thumbnail
, flickr:profile
, and so on).
How do I get round this? My head hurts when I look at the documentation for the DOM. So I'd like to avoid it as I don't want to learn.
I'm trying to get the thumbnail by the way.
The solution is explained in this nice article. You need the children()
method for accessing XML elements which contain a namespace. This code snippet is quoted from the article:
$feed = simplexml_load_file('http://www.sitepoint.com/recent.rdf');
foreach ($feed->item as $item) {
$ns_dc = $item->children('http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/');
echo $ns_dc->date;
}
