Why is getElementsByTagName() not working for me?

Question

I am trying to get info from the OMDb API. I found some code but it's not working right:

$loc = 'http://www.omdbapi.com/?t='.$lookup_title.'&r=xml';
$dom = new DOMDocument();  
$dom->load($loc);  
foreach ($dom->getElementsByTagName('movie') as $e) {

    $imdb = $e->getElementsByTagName('imdbID')->item(0)->textContent; 
    $year = $e->getElementsByTagName('year')->item(0)->textContent;  
    $plot = $e->getElementsByTagName('plot')->item(0)->textContent; 
    $poster = $e->getElementsByTagName('poster')->item(0)->textContent;   

}  

The XML output from OMDb API:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Answer 1

The imdb, year, plot, and poster parts are XML attributes, not elements, so use DOMElement::getAttribute() rather than getElementsByTagName():

$imdb = $e->getAttribute('imdbID'); 
$year = $e->getAttribute('year');  
$plot = $e->getAttribute('plot'); 
$poster = $e->getAttribute('poster');
