Question

I am using the iTunes API.

And I need to grab the image to parse into our php.

ok.

1. this is from the itunes XML

               <image height="55">http://a5.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/078/Music/3c/40/58/mzi.ryeiepvk.55x55-70.jpg</image>
   
               <image height="60">http://a4.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/078/Music/3c/40/58/mzi.ryeiepvk.60x60-50.jpg</image>
   
               <image height="170">http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/078/Music/3c/40/58/mzi.ryeiepvk.170x170-75.jpg</image>
   

Now I have this in my PHP.

$image=$songinfo->image;
                        echo "<li>
                                <img class='minivideo-img' src=",$image,">

This works great, but its NOT pulling in the image I want its defaulting to the smallest.

I need to grab the image that is in the xml like:

<image height="170">

When I inspect my html i see this:

<img class="minivideo-img" src="http://a5.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/078/Music/3c/40/58/mzi.ryeiepvk.55x55-70.jpg">

I need to get this:

<img class="minivideo-img" src="http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/078/Music/3c/40/58/mzi.ryeiepvk.170x170-75.jpg">

Answer 1

Your sample code needs to retrieve the attribute from image node from the XML (in this case, $mysongs). Since $songinfo->image appears to be the image URL, the height attribute should be $songinfo->image['height']

Simple XML

Update: Now that you have updated your question, you appear to have multiple image nodes. You need to loop through them something like this:

for( $i = 0; $i < count($songinfo->image); $i ) {
    if( $songinfo->image[$i]['height'] >= 170 ) {
         $image = $songinfo->image[$i];
         break;
    }
}
echo '<img src=\''.$image.'\' />';

(Also updated to use the simpler attribute notation.)
