Getting a certain image from a feed

[X-Tream]

Hi,

First of all i'm using Simple Pie to get the images from my feed, but the problem is that the images are blurry. (http://netti-tv.net/yle) Is there a way to get a certain image from the feed (http://areena.yle.fi/tv/kaikki.rss)? In my case I would like to get the image ending "160.jpg".

Code what i'm using now is: http://pastebin.com/GCPXrkTQ and the part what is fetching the image is in line 88-89.

$enclosure = $item->get_enclosure();
$i['kuva'] = $enclosure->get_thumbnail(); 

Hopefully somebody can help! I would really appreciate it.

Is there a solution for my problem for example using php array?

The script is pulling the thumbnail image that is associated with each news item - are you wanting it to pull a different image for each news item? Possibly a larger version?

And where does the "160.jpg" come in to play? Is that a common suffix for your larger version images? In other words, do you always use a series of thumbnail images with, for example, a "news-item-01.jpg" naming convention, and a larger version image series using a 160 suffix, as in "news-item-01-160.jpg"? I see that 160 is the img width declared in the original script echo (presumable when you say the image is blurry it is with reference to the script upsizing a much smaller source pic) but you haven't explained precisely why you mentioned it in your original post.

For reference to others, the script displays the the image thumbnail like this;

echo '<img border="0" title="'.$item['content'].'" width="160" src="'.$item['kuva'].'"/></a>';

Please explain your problem and requirements more clearly and then somebody might be able to offer suggestions.

First of all thank you Beverleyh for answering my question.

Yes, I would like it to pull a larger image from the rss feed. Now it fetches the first image from the feed (Marked as Green and I would like to fetch the one ending in 160.jpq (Marked as red)): http://areena.yle.fi/tv/kaikki.rss

And the "160.jpq" comes from the feed, as the feed has 6 thumbnails with different widths. So in my case 160 px width would be perfect for my site -> I should somehow grab the thumbnail ending in "160.jpg"

The reason why the image is blurry is course the line:

echo '<img border="0" title="'.$item['content'].'" width="160" src="'.$item['kuva'].'"/></a>';

Stretches the image bigger. From 65px -> 160px. To avoid this from happening I should somehow get the correct image size from the rss feed...And I believe you could somehow get it by using array?

Anyways sorry for my bad English, but yet again I would really appreciate if somebody could help me.

Ok - I'm on iPhone so I can't do any testing, but if your small (green) image always ends with "_65.jpg", and your bigger (red) image always ends with "_160.jpg", you can probably get away with doing something like this - add the extra line;

$enclosure = $item->get_enclosure();
$i['kuva'] = $enclosure->get_thumbnail();  

$i['kuva'] = str_replace('65.jpg', '160.jpg', $i['kuva']);

Thank you so much Beverleyh! It's finally fetching the correct image.

[Beverleyh]

No problem
