class Wordpress
{
	public static $wpXML;

	function __construct($wpXML)
	{
		$this->wpXML = $wpXML;
	}

	public function getPosts()
	{
		$xml = simplexml_load_file($this->wpXML);
		$posts = array();

		foreach($xml->channel->item as $item)
		{
			$categories = array();
			foreach($item->category as $category)
			{
				//echo $category['domain'];
				if($category['nicename'] != "uncategorized" && $category['domain'] == "category")
				{
					//echo 'Yep';
					$categories[] = $category['nicename'];
				}

@cristianfx I am amazed this still works in 2019. Metadata could probably be parsed in a similar way.

Really cool function, thanks a lot!

Anybody else getting these errors?
