foreach($youtube->entry as $item){
    //title works
    echo $item->title;

    //now how to get seconds? My attempt...
    $namespaces = $item->getNameSpaces(true);
    $yt = $item->children($namespaces['yt']);
    $seconds = $yt->duration->attributes();
    echo $seconds['seconds'];
    //but doesn't work :(
}

So I found a way to do it using xpath, is this the best way or is there a way that's consistent with my code in the question? Just out of curiosity.

$source = 'youtube.xml';

// load as file
$youtube = new SimpleXMLElement($source, null, true);
$youtube->registerXPathNamespace('yt', 'http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007');

$count = 0;
foreach($youtube->entry as $item){

    //title works
    echo $item->title;

    $attributes = $item->xpath('//yt:duration/@seconds');
    echo $attributes[$count]['seconds'];
    $count++;
}

Are you using SimpleXML?

A solution for you seems to exist right here.

EDIT

Answer copied here for posterity's sake

Access the children by their XML namespace.

$dcChildren = $node->children( 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/' );

$title = $dcChildren->title;

Usually, people use children().

$rss = simplexml_load_string(
    '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <rss version="2.0" xmlns:moshtix="http://www.moshtix.com.au">
        <channel>
            <link>qweqwe</link>
            <moshtix:genre>asdasd</moshtix:genre>
        </channel>
    </rss>'
);

foreach ($rss->channel as $channel)
{
    echo 'link: ', $channel->link, "n";
    echo 'genre: ', $channel->children('moshtix', true)->genre, "n";
}

To use jQuery methods you have to wrap this with a call to jQuery.

$('.newItem').click(function () {
    alert($(this).attr('setid'));
});

You can use mongodb driver to get dbs as following

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;

// Connection url
var url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/test';
// Connect using MongoClient
MongoClient.connect(url, function(err, db) {
  // Use the admin database for the operation
  var adminDb = db.admin();
  // List all the available databases
  adminDb.listDatabases(function(err, result) {
    console.log(result.databases);
    db.close();
  });
});
