Getting image from rss feed

genista

Hi all,

I am trying to get an image from an rss feed - should be simple but no. Here is some code that I have tried so far:

Base code to get rss feed:

$RSSitem = $RSS_DOC->channel->item[0];
		$item_id 	= md5($RSSitem->title);
		$fetch_date = date("Y-m-j G:i:s"); //NOTE: we don't use a DB SQL function so its database independant
		$item_title = $RSSitem->title;
                $item_description = $RSSitem->description;
		$item_date  = date("Y-m-j G:i:s", strtotime($RSSitem->pubDate));
		$item_url	= $RSSitem->link;

            //This causes the following error when I echo $item_image:  Call to a member function attributes() on a non-object
            $item_image = $RSS_DOC->channel->item->ContentItem[0]->attributes()->Href;

            //This displays nothing:
           $item_image = $RSSitem->image;

Any ideas?

Thanks,

So ContentItem[0] isn't an object (probably means it doesn't exist).

I generally don't have a good grip on this sort of this (document hierarchies). I tend to spend a lot of time with print_r or var_dump() trying to find the right magic words ... good luck!
