Ok

I have built my little XML page to show content on my website from someones RSS feed.

http://www.paranormal-search.com/paranormal-news.xml

Why do I have to click a link to see the feed? Surely the feed should just be displayed under where it says Paranormal News?

Can someone tell me what code i need to insert?

Confused

Thanks.

On paranormal-news.xml you show a link to an RSS-feed... it's quit normal that you need to click before you go to that page.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <rss version="2.0"> 
<channel> 		
<title>Paranormal News</title> 		
<link>http://thebeyond.info/</link> 		
<description>The latest Paranormal News, pictures, videos and stories</description> 		
<item>         	
<title>Paranormal News</title>         
<link>http://thebeyond.info/articles/?feed=rss2</link>
</item></channel> 
</rss>

You post this question in the PHP-form, so I conclude you generate paranormal-news.xml with PHP. In that case you should copy all the items of the second page and show it inside of yours... it can't be don (or at least I don't know how to do it) with only a link.

If you have PHP 5 you can use simplexml to parse XML into an object.

This can then be echoed and formatted as required.

PHP Code:


			
$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://thebeyond.info/articles/?feed=rss2');
    
foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item) {
    echo "<h1>".utf8_decode($item->title) . "</h1>\n";
    echo "<p>".utf8_decode($item->description) . "</p>\n";
}
