Parsing Last.fm feed onto website using PHP - php

Question

I'm trying to parse the Last.fm feed of my last 10 tracks played onto my website.
This is what I have so far,
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load('http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/nathanjmassey/recenttracks.xml');
$arrFeeds = array();
foreach ($doc->getElementsByTagName('track') as $node) {
$itemRSS = array (
'artist' => $node->getElementsByTagName('artist')->item(0)->nodeValue,
'name' => $node->getElementsByTagName('name')->item(0)->nodeValue,
'url' => $node->getElementsByTagName('url')->item(0)->nodeValue,
);
array_push($arrFeeds, $itemRSS);
}
?>
<?php
foreach ($arrFeeds as $i => $values) {
foreach ($values as $key => $value) {
print "<p>$value\n</p>";
}
}
?>
This basically gives me all 10 tracks in the feed in the format,
Linkin Park
In Between
http://www.last.fm/music/Linkin+Park/_/In+Between
But I need to format the results in list of links such as,
$artist - $track
How would I extend my script to achieve this?

Answer 1

For your output, use this:
<?
foreach ($arrFeeds as $i => $values)
{
print "<a href='" . $values['url'] . "'>" . $values['artist'] . " - " . $values['name'] . "</a>";
}
?>
UPDATE: How to limit # of parsed items
(Responding to the comment via edit so I can use the code display tags.)
I'm at work at the moment, but I'd try changing your initial parsing code something like so:
array_push($arrFeeds, $itemRSS); // existing line
if (count($arrFeeds) >= 5) { break; } // add this line
