Posted this in the blogging forums, but I think it's more of a prog issues. I'm trying to get SmartRSS to work in WordPress. The RSS feeds are not being imported at all, and it looks like the problem lies in the implode function: $data = implode("", file($filename)); echo "...data [".$data."] "; The data result that I'm displaying with the echo returns nothing when the feed is something like: "http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p=microsoft+xp" As a result, no posts are showing up. I'm an asp programmer venturing into php, so I could be missing something. Any ideas? Thanks, -mark
