$rss_channel = array();
$currently_writing = "";
$main = "";
$item_counter = 0;

function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $main;
switch($name) {
case "RSS":
case "RDF:RDF":
case "ITEMS":
$currently_writing = "";
break;
case "CHANNEL":
$main = "CHANNEL";
break;
case "IMAGE":
$main = "IMAGE";
$rss_channel["IMAGE"] = array();
break;
case "ITEM":
$main = "ITEMS";
break;
default:
$currently_writing = $name;
break;
}
}

function endElement($parser, $name) {
global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $item_counter;
$currently_writing = "";
if ($name == "ITEM") {
$item_counter++;
}
}

function characterData($parser, $data) {
global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $main, $item_counter;
if ($currently_writing != "") {
switch($main) {
case "CHANNEL":
if (isset($rss_channel[$currently_writing])) {
$rss_channel[$currently_writing] .= $data;
} else {
$rss_channel[$currently_writing] = $data;
}
break;
case "IMAGE":
if (isset($rss_channel[$main][$currently_writing])) {
$rss_channel[$main][$currently_writing] .= $data;
} else {
$rss_channel[$main][$currently_writing] = $data;
}
break;
case "ITEMS":
if (isset($rss_channel[$main][$item_counter][$currently_writing])) {
$rss_channel[$main][$item_counter][$currently_writing] .= $data;
} else {
//print ("rss_channel[$main][$item_counter][$currently_writing] = $data<br>");
$rss_channel[$main][$item_counter][$currently_writing] = $data;
}
break;
}
}
}

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");
if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r"))) {
die("could not open XML input");
}

while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) {

xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);

// output as HTML
print ("<html><head><title>PHP RSS Reader</title></head><body>");
if (isset($rss_channel["IMAGE"])) {
print ("<a href=\"" . $rss_channel["LINK"] . "\" target=\"_blank\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"" . $rss_channel["IMAGE"]["URL"] . "\" align=\"middle\" alt=\"" . $rss_channel["IMAGE"]["TITLE"] . "\"></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size=\"5\">" . $rss_channel["TITLE"] . "</font><br><br>");
} else {

}
print ("<i>" . $rss_channel["DESCRIPTION"] . "</i><br><br>");
if (isset($rss_channel["ITEMS"])) {
if (count($rss_channel["ITEMS"]) > 0) {
for($i = 0;$i < count($rss_channel["ITEMS"]);$i++) {
print ("\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"1\"><tr><td width=\"100%\"><a href=\"" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["LINK"] . "\" target=\"_blank\"><h2>" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["TITLE"] . "</h2></a></b>");

1.- Use code tags when posting code. Most people (including me) won't read red lines.

2.- Isn't it a question for the php forum?

Won't what?

Welcome to Tek-Tips. At the risk of being rude, these forums are provided for computer professionals, so our expectations of those posting a problem and needing help are higher than you might have experienced previously in other venues. In return, you can expect to receive some truly top-notch help here. And, in return for that, you are expected to give back.

So, can you give us a better idea of your problem, beyond your original post? Dian has been around for a while. The suggestion that you post in the PHP forum should not be dismissed lightly. You don't need to repost the code, just include a refernce to this thread like this: thread426-1256572. A link is automagically generated.

John, we're here to help. Please help us help you.
