    <p>I've consistently had an issue with parsing XML with PHP and not really found "the right way" or at least a standardised way of parsing XML files.</p> <p>Firstly i'm trying to parse this:</p> <pre><code> &lt;item&gt; &lt;title&gt;2884400&lt;/title&gt; &lt;description&gt;&lt;![CDATA[ &gt;&lt;img width="126" alt="" src="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/126/27319921.jpg" /&gt; ]]&gt;&lt;/description&gt; &lt;link&gt;http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/Beatles/+images/27319921&lt;/link&gt; &lt;author&gt;anne710&lt;/author&gt; &lt;pubDate&gt;Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:12:31 +0000&lt;/pubDate&gt; &lt;guid&gt;http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/Beatles/+images/27319921&lt;/guid&gt; &lt;media:content url="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/27319921/Beatles+2884400.jpg" fileSize="13065" type="image/jpeg" expression="full" width="126" height="126" /&gt; &lt;media:thumbnail url="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/126/27319921.jpg" type="image/jpeg" width="126" height="126" /&gt; &lt;/item&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm using this code:</p> <pre><code>$doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc-&gt;load('http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/artist/beatles/images.rss'); $arrFeeds = array(); foreach ($doc-&gt;getElementsByTagName('item') as $node) { $itemRSS = array ( 'title' =&gt; $node-&gt;getElementsByTagName('title')-&gt;item(0)-&gt;nodeValue, 'desc' =&gt; $node-&gt;getElementsByTagName('description')-&gt;item(0)-&gt;nodeValue, 'link' =&gt; $node-&gt;getElementsByTagName('link')-&gt;item(0)-&gt;nodeValue, 'date' =&gt; $node-&gt;getElementsByTagName('pubDate')-&gt;item(0)-&gt;nodeValue ); array_push($arrFeeds, $itemRSS); } </code></pre> <p>Now I want to get the "media:content" and "media:thumbnail" url attributes, how would i do that? Now i think i should be using DOMElement::getAttribute but i haven't managed to get it to work :/ Can anyone shed some light on this, and also let me know if this is a good way to parse XML?</p> <p>Regards, Shadi</p>

    1. COThis whole question/thread is pretty bad. The problem is a lack of understanding namespaces. I suggest anyone reading this learn about XML namespaces. People have mentioned this below. The problem is media:content means the 'content' tag that belongs to the 'media' namespace, not the default namespace (which is what you are querying against).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
