Parse media:content from RSS feed with PHP - php

Question

I am trying to parse media:content from RSS with PHP and then show it using HTML.
I went through numerous posts on the same topic but since i'm a beginner I couldn't figure it out because the codes were different from mine.
Currently I dont’ have any line that is trying to get the image from xml.
<?php
$html = "";
$url = "url.rss";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
$namespaces = $xml->getNamespaces(true);
for($i = 0; $i < 50; $i++){
$title = $xml->channel->item[$i]->title;
$link = $xml->channel->item[$i]->link;
$description = $xml->channel->item[$i]->description;
$pubDate = $xml->channel->item[$i]->pubDate;
$author = $xml->channel->item[$i]->author;
$html .= "<a href='$link'><h3>$title</h3></a>";
$html .= "$description";
$html .= "<p>$pubDate</p>";
$html .= "<p>$author</p><hr>";
}
echo $html;
?>
This is the info I need from the XML file:
<media:content url="www.image.jpg" medium="image" type="image/jpeg" width="850" height="425" />
Thanks!
I expect the PHP file to show the media file.

Answer 1

Can you please give us more info?
What is the value of '$xml' after you run simplexml_load_file? (did you get the correct data?)
What error message did you get?
EDIT - according to your comment
try using
$xml->channel->item[$i]->children('media', true)->content->attributes();
The 'media' inside children is the namespace for the 'content' element.
While the boolean 'true' variable tells the parser to refer the 'media' as a namespace
