Yes, all of the contact data is returned with the feed. I think you
actually want to run your main foreach routine on $feed, not the XML
children. As I understand it, getFeed returns an array of strings
containing XML, and each element of the array is its own XML string
for an individual contact. So, you have to extract from the array each
XML string describing a contact before you convert a string into an
XML object. Here's how my code is structured:
$feed = $gdata->getFeed( $query );
foreach( $feed as $entry )
{
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement( $entry->getXML() );
. . .
}
Also, I'm using an XML-to-Array parser that I found last year in place
of SimpleXML. I would recommend sticking with SimpleXML since it is a
legitimate extension of PHP, but in case you want to see the
alternative, you can find it at
http://mysrc.blogspot.com/2007/02/php-xml-to-array-and-backwards.html.
Hope that helps.
