I would suggest using an excellent rss parser. Many of them are available, but you can try http://simplepie.org/, one of the best I used for my personal projects.

Usage example

Note:Used YouTube channel college humor, you can get it from the channel page itself

set_feed_url('https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCPDXXXJj9nax0fr0Wfc048g');
$feed->enable_cache(false);
$feed->init();

$items = $feed->get_items();

foreach ($items as $item)
{
    echo $item->get_title() . "\n";
}

var_dump($feed->get_item_quantity());
