   Hi everyone,

   I'm having a difficult time using fetch_rss to access the content childNode:

   Example:

   XML:

   <feed>
   <title>title accessed fine</title>
   <content type="xhtml">
      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
         <p>this is the content I want to access</p>
      </div>
   </content>
   </feed>

   PHP:

   normal function stuff...

   // the below works for accessing the title node
   $item['title'];
   
   // and this DOESN'T work
   $item['content']['div']['p'];

   Note that the above is a highly stripped down version of what the feed actually looks like.

   Am I incorrectly understanding the syntax construct?

   Any help is greatly appreciated.

   -Chris

   Chris,

   I'm having the same issue: I'm trying to access the components under the author tag but can't seem to figure it out (mind you I've been learning this stuff on the fly today but I'm non-the-less experienced with programming languages).

   I want to make the name of the author a link... and everything I need is there, however they are children of the <author> tag... For instance

   <author>
    <name>author name</name>
    <uri>their url</uri>
    </author>

   I can access other parts of the feed...

   $item['content'];
   // returns content
   $item['published'];
   // returns the published date
   $item['author'];
   // returns nothing...

   Any insight for these issues?
