I'm trying to get the RSS feed from a WordPress.com blog with SimpleXML, but the content node is missing.

Here's my code:

$feed = file_get_contents('http://blog.wordpress.com/category/category-name/feed');
$xml = simplexml_load_string($feed);
var_dump($xml);

On the URL itself, there is a content:encoded. Also var_dump($feed) shows the content. But somehow after simplexml, the content node is missing.

Any thoughts?

Can you post the XML that you're reading in? – i alarmed alien Oct 29 '14 at 10:29
I actually found another way, that works with WP: http://bavotasan.com/2010/display-rss-feed-with-php/ – Oct 29 '14 at 10:52
I'd still be interested in knowing why is this is happening and how to prevent it... – Oct 29 '14 at 13:00
