I am using this php code to parse this xml result to get subscriberCount:62

<?php
$det = simplexml_load_file('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/worshipuk');

echo "<pre>";
print_r($det);
?>

Also you can use this function:

function get_yt_subs($username) { 

$xmlData = file_get_contents('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/' . strtolower($username)); 
$xmlData = str_replace('yt:', 'yt', $xmlData); 

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlData); 

$subs = $xml->ytstatistics['subscriberCount']; 

return($subs); 

}

Example of usage:

PHP Code: get_yt_subs('GameTuts')
Returns:

16733

I have same problem. use below code i am sure you get your subscriberCount.

$name = 'worshipuk'; 
$url   = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/'. urlencode($name).'?alt=json'; 
$json  = @file_get_contents($url); // Naughty @-operator, use proper error handling 
$data  = json_decode($json, TRUE); 
$count = (int) $data['entry']['yt$statistics']['subscriberCount']; 

echo $count;
