The youtube API sometimes throws error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object
- by Anna Lica
When i launch the php script, sometime works fine, but many other times it retrieve me this errror
Fatal error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object in
/membri/americanhorizon/ytvideo/rilevametadatadaurlyoutube.php on line
21
This is the first part of the code
// set feed URL
$feedURL = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/dZec2Lbr_r8';
// read feed into SimpleXML object
$entry = simplexml_load_file($feedURL);
$video = parseVideoEntry($entry);
function parseVideoEntry($entry) {
$obj= new stdClass;
// get nodes in media: namespace for media information
$media = $entry->children('http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/'); //<----this is the doomed line 21
UPDATE: solution adopted
for ($i=0 ; $i< count($fileArray); $i++)
{
// set feed URL
$feedURL = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/'.$fileArray[$i];
// read feed into SimpleXML object
$entry = simplexml_load_file($feedURL);
if ( is_object($entry))
{
$video = parseVideoEntry($entry);
echo ($video->description."|".$video->length);
echo "<br>";
}
else
{
$i--;
}
}
In this mode i force the script to re-check the file that caused the error
