Using an RSS Feed (This is Easy)

how are u guys doing, ive opened a website, and I was looking to use rss feeds from multiple news sources to display on a single page, thats the whole point of my website, its to make it convenient for people to get news from multiple news sources

http://www.cricketnewsworld.com

i looked around the web and looked at some scripts, packages such as carp where they charge

but then i came around ur script, its perfect for me, the only problem is i get an error when I try to put more then one feed on my page

I just copy and pasted ur script 3 times with different links, only the first one showed up

im guessing its not desgined to function like that, since the variables are repeated

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare startelement() (previously declared in /home2/cricketg/public_html/cricketnewsworld/index.php:241) in /home2/cricketg/public_html/cricketnewsworld/index.php on line 355

thats the errror it shows, as you can see on my website there

if you could shed some insight into this problem

id be greatfull

I can Help no probes I can build you a feed in 10 minutes up on your sit.... let me know

 

Awesome little parser for any website that wants fresh content! Thanks a lot yfs1!

 

her egor whats the reference you have for us>>>>>

 

i tried both straight and rotating codes and they work great! this is so simple thank you so much for sharing!!!

i put it in a css styled div and it looks great already.

like this:

<style>
.feed {width:500px; font:11pt arial;}
.feed a{color:green}
</style>

<div class="feed"> code here </div>

Code (markup):

HOWEVER. its having trouble reading some ascii characters. is there a php fix out there that would help this code read correctly for a browser?

PLUS. how would you control the amount of posts shown. can you set how many characters to show?

ALSO. i want to pull in the images with it. is it hard to do?


THANKS!

Awesome thread... Learnig something new about RSS feeds everyday!

 

Greetings all member here.

I am a newbie for trying to read RSS into my website. But i face a problem when i upload to my Linux hosting server. You can see error here http://www.it-smart.biz/news/

Error: XML error: mismatched tag at line 20

But in my localhost testing is running well. So i asked my server they said that all functions are enabled. They ask me which function that we need to use? So they will enable more.

Anyone face error like me? How to fix it?

 

I will try this...looks promising at first sight.

Will let u know my findings.

 

Is there any way of it changing to the next item in the feed after a set period of time? At the moment it only displays a list for me, but I want just one line to refresh with different items each time.

 

I thought you would like a variation of this code. I make the feeds title and content shorter and added some formatting features.

Change while ($int != 2){ === the number "2" to get more and less feeds. This feed gets 5 RSS links. It's great for a side bar.
