XML namespaces and SimpleXML

[JBottero]

I'm using PHP's simple XML functions to parse RSS feeds.

Here's a sample of a particular feed (Yahoo News):

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to access the media:content (the link to the associated image).

<?php

$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories');

echo $xml->item->children("http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/")->credit;

?>

Gets me nothing...

Any ideas?

What about:

<?php
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement("http://finance.yahoo.com/rss/topstories", null, true);
echo $xml->item->media:credit;
?>

I'm new to SimpleXML, but give it a try.

(I didn't have time to do a highlight, sorry)

Tried it. Nope, that doesn't get me into the media namespace. But thanks.
