You may need to use the [url=http://www.php.net/curl]cURL functions[/url] to retrieve the desired RSS feed directly, then use any of the plethora of RSS parser functions/classes out there to read it and display the result as desired. (Or for that matter, I'm sure there's some all-in-one PHP class/script out there that includes using cURL to retrieve the feed's XML.)
Or, if you don't mind the security risk of executing PHP code from the site you are trying to use, you could retrieve the output from it via cURL and then[url=http://php.net/eval]eval[/url] () it in your script.
cant get rss working and getting really vexed!
HI.
Bascially i signed up with [url]http://rssfeedreader.com
I copied the generated php code into a php file and upoaded it to my server.
devonwebsitedesign.com/rss.php
Nothing happens. I have tested php on my server using the hello world script. and all works ok.
Now, i have contacted both my hosting provider and the rsssfeedreader support staff but neither can come up with a solution even after accessing my ftp account.
The first sugguestion was that the “%” signs in the feed url were triggering mod security. My hosting provider provided me with an alternative script, replacing the “%” signs and still no luck.
I have checked that the allow_call_time_pass_reference, allow_url_fopen, allow_url_include are turned on.
I really dont know much about php but im sure this cant be that complecated to figure out.
The code for the rss.php file is…
[CODE]
<?php
$olderror_reporting =error_reporting(0);
include
(‘http://rssfeedreader.com/rss3/rss.php?url=http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/internet&newpage=1&chead=1&atl=1&desc=1&owncss=1&eleminate=
auth=&dts=&width=300&max=1&tlen=0&rnd=1&bt=3&bs=Double&nmb=&ntb=&naf=&nst=&nwd=0&nht=0&dlen=200&lstyle=-1&lc=Blue&bg=White&bc=none&spc=&ims=&tc=&ts=11&tfont=Verdana,+Arial,+Sans-serif
rf=devonwebsitedesign/rss.php&phpout=1’);
error_reporting($olderror_reporting);
?>
So im assuming it has to be something in the url which is causing issues. If anyone has any sugguestions i would greatly appreciated it.
Thanks.
