Simplexml & php rss feed (view image from rss feed)

Question

I am trying to parse the yahoo pipe rss feed. this is the feed

<channel>
.......

<item>
......
<media:content url="http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000IhrAERY1qOs/s/900/900/Indonesia-Java-Bandung-3106-Bandung.jpg" />
<media:thumbnail url="http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000IhrAERY1qOs/s/900/900/Indonesia-Java-Bandung-3106-Bandung.jpg" />
</item>
</channel>

How do I get the image (<media:thumbnail) from that RSS feed? I've done to try this, but there is no result. this is my code

<? $feed = file_get_contents('http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=ce435780a2b72feb40c0b7446b92e660&_render=rss');
$rss = new SimpleXmlElement($feed);
foreach ($rss->channel->item as $item) {
$ns_dc = $item->children('http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/');
echo $ns_dc->thumbnail ; echo '<br>';
}
?>

the problem is "SimpleXmlElement" do not generate category name and media thumbnail image. help me please Thanks!

The code echo $ns_dc->thumbnail; prints out the text contents of the <media:thumbnail> element, even though it has none. To access the value in the url attribute, use the following:

echo $ns_dc->thumbnail->attributes()->url;
