Hey, Wayne, might it be the namespace(s)?

- this can be a HUGE factor in extracting the xml for various systems.

FWIW: the full xPATH should be: /feed/entry/id. I don't know if that gets you 
an "array" or not - it might only return the first instance of the value(s). If 
you use //entry/id you should get ALL matches, but not knowing if this gets you 
the array. I mostly work with XSLT to parse the XML. :)
