Here is how i am calling it:

<?php
require ("RecursiveTwitterSearch.php");
    $rts = new RecursiveTwitterSearch('paintball mask');
    echo '<pre>';
    print_r($rts->recursive_results());
    echo '</pre>';
    echo 'It took ' . $rts->request_count . ' request(s) to get this result.';
?>


If you observer the Output, u will see lot of array, i want to extract only "[text]" portion. 

So the desired output should be like:
Quote

vPaintball Mask http://bit.ly/czBA6S
The Paintball Republic does a short video about mask safety. LEARN. http://fb.me/KkMvjDWF
airsoft vs paintball mask http://goo.gl/fb/tyoxk
@mmorgansmithh like wearing a paintball mask on your head to starbucks
Tippmann US Army Ranger Paintball Goggle Mask - Camo: Tippmann US Army Ranger Paintball Goggle Mask - Camo ... http://bit.ly/9hFi3p

and so on.........





Infact, i prfer to use "foreach" to each each element so i can do further operation on it.

Can anyone help to achieve this?

I have the following code below:

hi.
Basically, I am trying to set up a random bible verse script. I found an rss/xml feed he
http://www.mybiblescripture.com/rss/bible.php?fmt=daily&trans=KJV

Using the following code, I am attempting to parse the feed in to an array:

Code: [Select]
<?php
function fetchXML($url) 
{ 
//initialize library 
$ch = curl_init(); 
//used to make us look like a browser 
$useragent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1"; 
//set the url 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
//set that I want to wait for a response 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
//make us look like a web browser 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent); 
//get data 
$data = curl_exec($ch); 
//clean up 
curl_close($ch); 
//return xml data 
return $data; 
} 
define("USE_CURL", true); 
$url = "http://www.mybiblescripture.com/rss/bible.php?fmt=daily&trans=KJV";
//get xml doc with info 
$data = fetchXML($url); 
//create a SimpleXML object to parse the xml 
$char_xml = new SimpleXmlElement($data); 
echo print_r($char_xml);
?>
Which gives me the following output:
Code: [Select]
SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [version] => 2.0 ) [channel] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [title] => My Bible Scripture - Bible Verse of the Day (KJV) [link] =>

What I am trying to do is pull ONLY [title] => Corinthians I 10:17 and its accompanying verse [description] => For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. (KJV).

I am very bad at trying to read multi-dim arrays and can't for the life of me figure out how to print the aforementioned keys.

Could anyone help me here?
thanks
