And so on

 

If you have PHP 5, check this:

Very easy.

 

Do you have php5 ?

Yes I am using php 5 and I tried the following code

<?php
$xmlstr = simplexml_load_file('rssfeed.xml');
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
foreach ($xml->Category as $category) {
   echo $category->catName, '<br />';
}
?>

Code (markup):

Just to test if it works but what I get is the following errors

Warning: SimpleXMLElement::__construct() [function.--construct]: Entity: line 11: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in /home/articnet/public_html/tools/latestnews.php on line 3

EDIT:

Aaand I think I just did.


Even simpler:

$xml = simplexml_load_file('rssfeed.xml');

foreach ($xml->item as $category)
{
   echo $category->Id, '<br />';
   echo $category->Title, '<br />';
   echo $category->Description, '<br />';
}
