Zend_Feed entires and colon separated keys

I've created a function that consumes an RSS feed from Flickr using Zend_Feed. Unfortunately I am struggling to extract some keys!

I can get the < title > and such by echoing

$entry->title();

But how can I echo out something like < media:thumbnail >?

I'm sure there's a completely simple way of doing this but I can't for the life of me figure it out!

Here is an example entry

I would like to extract the first thumbnail url from the entry.

a colon in the key means a namespace is being used. The media one, which will be defined somewhere else in the XML as pointing at a yahoo domain, is a pretty common one to find in RSS. Zend_Feed sometimes takes away the namespace, so did you try $entry->thumbnail()?

Alternatively, I recall that there's a getDom method that will return you a DOMDocument on which you can use all the built-in NS-matching methods (getElementsByTagNameNS for example).

Or, take a look at the new Zend_Feed_Reader stuff - it might have support for the media namespace already or writing your own adapter is pretty simple - there's an example in the docs for amazon's inclusion of ISBN in some of their feeds that you'd be able to copy.

$entry->media()->thumbnail()

could work or

$entry->{'media:thumbnail'}

But iam not 100% sure.

I have resolved this by using Zend Gdata YouTube instead, I am still interested how It could be done this way though as I may use Zend_Feed in the future for similar things!
