## 4.6. Consuming a Single Atom Entry

Single Atom `<entry>` elements are also valid by themselves. Usually the URL for an entry is the feed's URL followed by `/<entryId>`, such as `http://atom.example.com/feed/1`, using the example URL we used above.

If you read a single entry, you will still have a `Zend_Feed_Atom` object, but it will automatically create an "anonymous" feed to contain the entry.

Example 4.3. Reading a Single-Entry Atom Feed

    <?php

    $feed = new Zend_Feed_Atom('http://atom.example.com/feed/1');
    echo 'The feed has: ' . $feed->count() . ' entry.';

    $entry = $feed->current();

    ?>

Alternatively, you could instantiate the entry object directly if you know you are accessing an `<entry>`-only document:

Example 4.4. Using the Entry Object Directly for a Single-Entry Atom Feed

    <?php

    $entry = new Zend_Feed_EntryAtom('http://atom.example.com/feed/1');
    echo $entry->title();

    ?>
