need to add titles and stories to an array - HTML Forums

harpster · 10-20-2009, 04:56 PM

hello,

i'd like to add a news xml to an array in php. i already have the code where i have searched out the targets, but i can't figure out what functions need to take place to get the story with the title and how to echo them. right now my code is just everything jammed together with some crazy array-type numbers.

thanks!

Code:

<body>
<?php

$url = 'http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/rss/nursing.xml';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
echo( $xml->channel->title);
echo "<br>";

$result\ = $xml->xpath('/rss/channel/item/title');
while(list( , $title) = each($result)) 
{
    $arrTitle[] = $title;
}

$result2\ = $xml->xpath('/rss/channel/item/description');
while(list( , $story) = each($result2)) 
{
	$arrStory[] = $story;
}

print_r($arrStory);


?>
</body>

here is my output
