Answer 1

My bet is that either

• $entries is not an array
• one or multiple of $e are not arrays

try

foreach ( $entries as $e ) {
    $info = array(); // added to see if pre-declaration helps
    if (is_array($e)) // only go on if $e is actually an array
    $info = array( $e[ 'title' ], 
                   $e[ 'gd:when attr' ][ 'startTime' ], 
                   $e[ 'gd:where attr' ][ 'valueString' ], 
                   $e[ 'content' ] );
}

If you want to do it really properly, you check for each key of $e ("startTime" and so on) first using isset() or array_key_exists().

Answer 2

you dont need the foreach

$info = array( 
                  $entries[ 'title' ], 
                  $entries[ 'gd:when attr' ][ 'startTime' ], 
                  $entries[ 'gd:where attr' ][ 'valueString' ], 
                  $entries[ 'content' ] 
                 );
