Hello, folks!
I'm trying to parse RSS feed and display it on my own page.
MagpieRSS looks good enough for me, but I have a little problem.
http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/
I want to display not only the title and description of each article,
but the thumbnail as well.
For example, I tried to do that with this feed.
http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml
Everything is alright with the title and the description, but I can't
do the thumbnail thing. What I've tried is the following:
foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
$title = $item[title];
$url = $item[link];
$description = $item[description];
$thumbnail = $item['media:thumbnail'];
echo "<a href=$url>$title</a></li><br>";
echo $description;
echo "<img $thumbnail>";
}
As I said before, the other things are fine, but it's not showing the
thumbnail. This is the structure:
<title>txt</title>
<description>txt</description>
<media:thumbnail width="X" height="Y" url="url"/>
And the following line of the php code returns blank result.
(probably because we require parameter of media:thumbnail, not
the value 'inside' it):
$thumbnail = $item['media:thumbnail'];
So I am interested in that parameter url, but I do not know how
can we get it.
You need to look at how to read the attributes of the element using
magpie. Note that your surrounding it in a <img> tag just wont work as
it does not use the standard src= attribute that an img element expects!
I've not used it but vardump() or print_r() on the $item will probably
show you what you need to do.
