Ho to extract data form <link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='I NEED THIS LINK' title='Podaj tytu? wpisu spintax' /> ?

I dont know how to extract this, i can easy extract title but i dont know how to do the same with LINK alternate, thanks for advice.

Here is what i have write:

$file = "http://ecookingwithme.blogspot.com/atom.xml";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file);
echo $xml->entry->title;

Also i have try with:

$file = "http://ecookingwithme.blogspot.com/atom.xml";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file);

foreach ( $xml->entry as $foo ) {
    foreach ( $foo->link as $link ) {
        $type = (string) $link->attributes()->{'rel'};
        if ( $type == 'rel' ) {
            echo (string) $link->attributes()->{'href'};
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

You are already in the entry element so just loop through the links and you can get the href.

$sxml = new simplexmlelement($xml);
foreach($sxml->link as $link) {
     if($link['rel'] == 'alternate') {
          echo $link['href'];
     }
}
