Using fetch_rss to access childNodes?

    Hi everyone,

    I’m having a difficult time using fetch_rss to access the content childNode:

    Example:

    XML:

    <feed>
<title>title accessed fine</title>
<content type="xhtml">
   <div xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
      <p>this is the content I want to access</p>
   </div>
</content>
</feed>

    PHP:

    normal function stuff…

    // the below works for accessing the title node
$item['title'];

// and this DOESN'T work
$item['content']['div']['p'];

    Note that the above is a highly stripped down version of what the feed actually looks like.

    Am I incorrectly understanding the syntax construct?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Chris,

    I’m having the same issue: I’m trying to access the components under the author tag but can’t seem to figure it out (mind you I’ve been learning this stuff on the fly today but I’m non-the-less experienced with programming languages).

    I want to make the name of the author a link… and everything I need is there, however they are children of the <author> tag… For instance

    <author>
 <name>author name</name>
 <uri>their url</uri>
 </author>

    I can access other parts of the feed…

    $item['content'];
// returns content
$item['published'];
// returns the published date
$item['author'];
// returns nothing...

    Any insight for these issues?
