[SOLVED] Extracting Atom Feed with PHP

[Gaia]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to extract data from an Atom feed using PHP.  I can get the title and published/updated date, but am having a hard time figuring out the path to the link="href" section of the Atom feed.

 

I have $xml->entry->link, but when I try to go any further it results in an empty result.  How do I finish the query to extract the link data?

 

Here is a print_r of $xml->entry->link

 

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
    [@attributes] => Array
        (
            [href] => /p/doulx
        )

)

 

I've never tried to extract data from an Atom feed before and am finding it difficult. Any tips would be great.

 

thanks.

What do you get when you try the following  option?

 

<?php echo $xml->entry->link[0]->@attributes->href; ?>

 

If that does not work, post a link to the atom feed your trying to extract from so we can see the whole thing.

I'm a noob. I searched everywhere but the PHP docs . Thanks for the link, worked like a charm.
