    in the line above 197, you have
    echo ("stuff here");

    where i have the "stuff herE", you have content with " 's in it, you need to change them to ' 's

    Think he was referring to the addslashes function. Dunno.
    But to answer your question... if you use " as the delimiter, it has to be escaped...
    $string = "this is a quote \" quote \" and that's ok";

    same goes for if you used ' as the delimiter...
    $string = 'this is a quote "quote" but the quotation\'s fine';

    So why don't we just use the 's? Variables. if you put
    $variable = "red";
    $string = "text $variable text";
    would print text red text

    Alls fine. If you use '.
    $string = 'text $variable text';
    would print text $variable text

    the slash shd be like this \ not like this /

    echo ("\n<div class=\"itemtitle\">" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["TITLE"] . "</div>");


    similarly replace this
    echo ("\n<div class="itemtitle"><a target=_blank href="" _wpro_href=""
    _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["LINK"] . "">" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["TITLE"] . "</a></div>");

    with

    echo ("\n<div class=\"itemtitle\"><a target=_blank href=\"\" _wpro_href=\"\"
    _wpro_href=\"\" _wpro_href=\"\" _wpro_href=\"\" _wpro_href=\"\" _wpro_href=\"\" _wpro_href=\"\" _wpro_href=\"\" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" _wpro_href="" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["LINK"] . "">" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["TITLE"] . "</a></div>");
