Question

<?php
// load SimpleXML
$entry = new SimpleXMLElement('http://bit.ly/c3IqMF', null, true);

echo <<<EOF
<table>
        <tr>
                <th>Title</th>
                <th>Image</th>                
        </tr>

EOF;
foreach($entry as $item) // 
{
        echo <<<EOF
        <tr>
                <td>{$item->title}</td>
                <td><img src="{$item->children('im', true)->image}"></td>       
        </tr>

EOF;
}
echo '</table>';
?>

The above php works but somehow, I got 8 empty table entities above the result

<tr>
            <td></td>
            <td><img src=""></td>       
    </tr>

What’s wrong with the code? How do I get rid of the empty table entities?

Answer 1

The way you have it now it gets the <id>, <title>, <updated> from the the start of the xml. Actually you needed all the entry entries in the xml. So it should be $entry->entry

foreach($entry->entry as $item) // 
{
        echo <<<EOF
        <tr>
                <td>{$item->title}</td>
                <td><img src="{$item->children('im', true)->image}"></td>       
        </tr>

EOF;
}
