How to get media:content with SimpleXML [duplicate]

Answer 1

I was having this problem too, I tested using this solution:

https://gist.github.com/enderandpeter/6b760140bf9d2ed9620c

And it worked!

$content = $xml->channel->item->children('media', true)->content;

$contentattr = $content->attributes();

Answer 2

The content element has a namespace prefix (<media:content>), so it can’t be accessed by the usual means.

Namespace-URI for "media" is from http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/ (check your rss.xml for "xmlns:media").

Try this:

foreach ($xml->channel->item as $news)
{
    $ns_media = $news->children('http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/');

    echo $ns_media->content; // displays "<media:content>"
}

EDIT :

I think there is some prob with the namespace uri "http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"

I tried using your xml :
