var_dump and simpleXML?
<p>I'm loading an XML file in via simpleXML. I'm a novice at best at PHP and new to parsing PHP but I'm a little confused</p>

<p>I'm trying to understand the structure of the variable I have stored, so I tried var_dump()</p>

<p>The thing that's confusing me is the data I'm looking for that's in the XML is <em>not</em> anywhere in the dumped data</p>

<p><a href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=surfing&amp;max-results=25" rel="nofollow">http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=surfing&amp;max-results=25</a></p>

<p>That's the URL I'm using at the moment. However, for example, the duration/seconds is nowhere to be found in the dumped variable data-- where is it and how do I access it?</p>

<p>here is the output I'm getting: <a href="http://pastebin.com/ggumXTEu" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/ggumXTEu</a></p>
