# 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.

Reading a Single-Entry Atom Feed

    $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:

Using the Entry Object Directly for a Single-Entry Atom Feed

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