  1. I'm trying to display an rss feed on a webpage and could use some help getting the data. The format of the feed is SimpleXMLElement Object ( [title] => HBR.org [id] => tag:blogs.harvardbusiness.org,2007-03-31:0.global-incremental [link] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [rel] => alternate [type] => text/html [href] => http://blogs.hbr.org/ ) ) [updated] => 2012-10-22T11:10:17Z [subtitle] => Practical insights, tools and resources from leading business thought leaders. [logo] => http://cbimages.ed4.net/hbsp/9380_225659.gif [entry] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [title] => The Sad Truth Behind Growing Clashes at the WTO [id] => tag:blogs.harvardbusiness.org,2007-03-31:126.12422 [link] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [rel] => alternate [type] => text/html [href] => http://feeds.harvardbusiness.org/~r/harvardbusiness/~3/olpM1q4GSdM/the_sad_truth_behind_the_growi.html ) ) [published] => 2012-10-22T11:00:41Z [updated] => 2012-10-21T22:47:25Z [summary] => Don't be fooled by the rhetoric about protectionism. I want to get the title, href, published and summary data for the 3 most recent [entry]s. Code below is working for the most part but I dont know how to get to the href which is an attribute of link. I've tried a number of different syntaxes and foreach loops but unsuccessfully. //get the feed and create a variable to enable parsing of the data which is returned in xml format $feed = simplexml_load_file("http://feeds.harvardbusiness.org/harvardbusiness/"); echo '<ul id="rssFeed">'; $i=0; //parse the feed to get the title, link, published date and summary for each entry foreach ($feed->entry as $entry) { $pubdate = date("jS M, Y H:i", strtotime($entry->published)); echo '<li a href="' . $href . '">' . $entry->title . '</a> <p>' . $pubdate . '</p> <p>' . $entry->summary . '</p> </li>'; if ($i++ == 2) break; } //end foreach loop echo '</ul>'// end the ul tag Please can you suggest how I access the href value? Also I've used a counter and a break clause to stop the loop after 3 loops but I don't think this is the best practice. How would I get just the first 3 entries from the feed?
