Just getting around to some much needed maintenance on some of the projects around here and had to chase down something that was plaguing Place Name Where? for a few weeks now. Though I looked at it when it first came up I just didn’t see the cause of the “Node no longer exists in…” messages that PHP5’s SimpleXML was throwing.
Turns out the cause was as simple (pardon the pun) as a string change in Flickr’s RSS feed
The media namespace URL was changed from “http://search.yahoo.com/mrss” to “http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/” (note the new trailing slash) which meant that my application was no longer addressing those elements properly, manifesting in it not loading the Image and Thumbnail urls properly. GRRRRR.
Always the little things I guess. All better now!
