Does anybody have an instruction list for .....

Does anybody have an instruction list how to setup Yahoo RSS News Feeds? I need the step by step instructions, would like to have fresh content links on my site. Probably very simple for many of you.



I have this code for yahoo news, but don't know how to make it work: Can somebody tell me what else I need to make this Yahoo News Feed (or whatever they call it) work?




<?php
$sfn = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];
$pos = strrpos($sfn, '/');
$filename = substr($sfn,0,$pos).'/carp/carp.php';
require_once($filename);

// Show 3 items
CarpConf('cborder','');
CarpConf('maxitems',3);
CarpConf('poweredby','');
CarpConf('iorder','link,date,desc');
CarpConf('bilink','<font face="Verdana" size="1pt"><b>');
CarpConf('ailink','</b></font>');
CarpConf('bidesc','<font face="Verdana" size="1pt">');
CarpConf('aidesc','</font><br><br>');
CarpConf('filterout','Yahoo! News');
CarpConf('cacheinterval',300);
CarpConf('linktarget',1);
$t="diet";
$r = '%22'.urlencode($t).'%22';
$s ='http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?ei=UTF-8&p='.$r;
CarpCacheShow($s);
$s='http://news.search.yahoo.com/search/news?p='.$t.'&sm=Yahoo%21+Search&fr=FP-tab-news-t&toggle=1';
$t = htmlentities($s);
echo '<p align="left">[ Read the latest diet News <a href="'.$t.'">here.</a> ]</p>';
?>

Hi

I don't know the YPN very well, being is Australia Yahoo! tells me i'm not allowed to join... anyway, looking at the code:

- Did yahoo give you a file called 'carp.php'?
- Does your website support php?

Looks like a file is required to make this work called carp.php and it needs to be put in a folder called 'carp' off the root of your website. You should then be able to put this code into a file with the extension .php and run it from your website.

My webhost company Hostgator told me they have blocked RSS. Their servers got overloaded. Is there any other way I can get fresh content on my site?
