I checked many site but still yet unable to solve this problem
<?php
$ch = curl_init("http://economico.sapo.pt/rss/ultimas");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$doc = new SimpleXmlElement($data);
//print_r($doc);
if(isset($doc->channel))
{
parseRSS($doc);
}
if(isset($doc->entry))
{
parseAtom($doc);
}
function parseRSS($xml)
{
// echo "<strong>".$xml->channel->title."</strong>";
$cnt = count($xml->channel->item);
for($i=0; $i<$cnt; $i++)
{
$postdate = $xml->channel->item[$i]->pubDate;
//pubDate
$url = $xml->channel->item[$i]->link;
$title = $xml->channel->item[$i]->title;
$desc = $xml->channel->item[$i]->description;
echo $postdate."<br/>".''.$title.'<br/>'.$desc.'<br/>';
}
}
function parseAtom($xml)
{
echo "<strong>".$xml->author->name."</strong>";
$cnt = count($xml->entry);
for($i=0; $i<$cnt; $i++)
{
$urlAtt = $xml->entry->link[$i]->attributes();
$url = $urlAtt['href'];
$title = $xml->entry->title;
$desc = strip_tags($xml->entry->content);
echo ''.$title.''.$desc.'';
}
}
?>

You are already on that right track with using ->attributes(), with regards to those with namespaces, just use ->children(). Simple example:
$url = 'http://economico.sapo.pt/rss/ultimas';
$rss = simplexml_load_file($url, null, LIBXML_NOCDATA);
foreach($rss->channel->item as $item) {
$title = (string) $item->title;
$link = (string) $item->link;
$description = (string) $item->description;
$pubDate = (string) $item->pubDate;
$media_image_url = '';
$media_title = '';
$media = $item->children('media', 'http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/');
if(isset($media->content)) {
$media_image_url = (string) $media->content->attributes()->url;
$media_title = (string) $media->content->title;
}
echo "
Title: $title <br/>
Link: $link <br/>
Description: $description <br/>
Pub Date: $pubDate <br/>
Image URL: $media_image_url <br/>
Media Title: $media_title <br/>
<hr/>
";
}
