How to display rss images with magpierss

[lauthiamkok]

How can I display the RSS images with magpierss? I have looked around online but cant find any resources about displaying RSS images... does magpierss has this function to display images? If it does not, any other solutions?

Here is my code, but the $image obviously doesnt work.

<?php
        require_once 'magpierss/rss_fetch.inc';
        
        $url = 'http://globaltolerance.com/?feed=rss2';
        $rss = fetch_rss($url);
        $items = array_slice($rss->items, $startRow, 3);

        foreach ($items as $item) {
            $title = $item['title'];
            $url   = $item['link'];
            $image   = $item['image'];
            $date = $item['date_timestamp'];
            $desc = $item['description'];
            
            if (strlen($title) >= 25)
                {
                $title = substr($title,0,24)."...";
                }
            
            if (strlen($desc) >= 25)
                {
                $desc = substr($desc,0,24)."...";
                }
        ?> 
            <!--item-->
            <div class="item">
                
                <!--item_left-->
                <div class="item_left">
                    <a href="#"><?php echo $image;?></a>                
                </div>
                <!--item_left-->
                
                <!--item_right-->
                <div class="item_right">
                    <div class="title"><a href="<?php echo $url;?>"><?php echo $title;?></a></div>
                    <div class="desicription"><?php echo $desc;?></div>
                    <div class="date"><?php echo date("l, F jS, Y", $date);?></div>
                </div>
                <!--item_right-->
            </div>
            <!--item-->
            
            <?php
            }
            ?>

Many thanks,

There are no images in that RSS feed.

yes i just realised that sorry for using the incorrect example.

this one should have the image feed,

http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/oped

then, how do I pull the images from that feed with magpierss?

thanks.

Don't know anything about magpie, but anyway in your example <image> is a child of <channel>, not <item>. I'm not sure about the magpie syntax, but using simpleXML, you'd get the properties like this:

<?php
$rss = simplexml_load_file('http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/oped');
echo $rss->channel->image->title . '<br />';
echo $rss->channel->image->width . '<br />';
echo $rss->channel->image->height . '<br />';
echo $rss->channel->image->link . '<br />';
echo $rss->channel->image->url . '<br />';
?>

This is fantastic! thank you. I will look it up about simpleXML - it seems easier to use than magpie!

Thank you.
