problem is just start when i tried to print the item array only

<?php
//$homepage = file_get_contents('');
$x = simplexml_load_file('http://www.metacafe.com/api/videos?vq=sexy&max-results=50');
echo "<pre>";
print_r($x->channel->item);
echo "</pre>";

    [pubDate] => 01-Nov-12 +0000
)

what i need to do is to retrieve the whole objects of the item array

Answer 1

<?php
//$homepage = file_get_contents('');
$x = simplexml_load_file('http://www.metacafe.com/api/videos?vq=sexy&max-results=50');
echo "<pre>";
foreach($x->channel->item as $key=>$value){
    print_r($value);
}
echo "</pre>";
?>

Just make it in foraech loop ?
