Having a custom xml from youtube channel - php

Question

I want to show say last 5 videos that I have uploaded in my youtube channel in a block in my site. I currently have this url that produces a xml file.
I dont know where should I go in youtube to customize this xml file lets say I only want it return only the last 5 videos.
Alos, it returns in entry tags some sort of html formatted stuff for the description I had written in youtube for the uploaded file. for example for one of my videos it shows like this:
<div style="color: #000000;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; font-size: 12px; width: 555px;">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td width="140" valign="top" rowspan="2"><div style="border: 1px solid #999999; margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px;"><img alt="" src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ihy785MpH7g/0.jpg"></div></td>

What I need is just few things: Title, link, screenshot of the video(That I have selected in youtube itself) and raw description text. So that I can put them nicely in my website with my own style.

Answer 1

This works for me
$string = file_get_contents('https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/USER_NAME/uploads?v=2&alt=json&max-results=5&orderby=published');
if($result = json_decode($string, true)) {
foreach($result['feed']['entry'] as $entry) {
echo "Title: ".$entry['title']['$t']."<br />";
echo "Description: ".$entry['media$group']['media$description']['$t']."<br />";
echo "Published: ".$entry['published']['$t']."<br />";
echo "Link: ".$entry['link'][0]["href"]."<br />";
echo "Thumb: ".$entry['media$group']['media$thumbnail'][0]['url']."<br />";
echo "<hr />";
}
} else{
echo "<h1>Problem with service</h1><br />";
echo $output;
}
Hope that helps.
