Can I do this with this code

Greetings

Using regexes on XML/HTML is the wrong way to go. You should be using a DOM parser to retrieve the individual elements/tags and THEN you could use a regex or simple string manipulation to get your values: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags/1732454#1732454 — Marc B, Nov 15 '11 at 17:42
I'm not sure I follow. What's the final output supposed to look like? — landons, Nov 15 '11 at 17:42
Results in the end that I want to show the date and video code @landons — 10neen com, Nov 15 '11 at 17:49
Ah. Yeah, you need a parser library: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/250679/best-way-to-parse-rss-atom-feeds-with-php — landons, Nov 15 '11 at 17:57

You can use PHP's DOMDocument parser like this:

$objDOM = new DOMDocument();
$objDOM->load($file);  // the long one from youtube
$dates = $objDOM->getElementsByTagName("pubDate"); 
foreach ($dates as $node)
{
     echo $node->nodeValue;
}

@10neencom this is just a sample to get you going in the right direction. This is a place to learn, not have the community write your whole application for you. – Jannie Theunissen Nov 16 '11 at 09:58

Use a DOM parser and then a regex parser in individual elements in the DOM (using things like getElementById()). It works better and is more failsafe.
