sorry for misunderstanding...i already turn them off. but still display as a blank page :-\ so i refer to the PHP Installation & Configuration section, this guy http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,242449.0.html having the same problem as mine, but nobody have solve it

i tried to safe_mode = On, it still display a blank page. if open_basedir = On, i got the error below Warning: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(C:/Apache2.2/htdocs/testing.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (1) in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in Unknown on line 0 Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'C:/Apache2.2/htdocs/testing.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in Unknown on line 0. by the way, is it safe to on safe mode and open_basedir?

rebooted my pc. the page remain as blank. can i know what configuration do i need to make changes?

ok.this is the code i had modify <? error_reporting(E_ALL); //$xml = file_get_contents('http://www.dpreview.com/feeds/news.xml'); // Use cURL to get the RSS feed into a PHP string variable. $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,'http://www.dpreview.com/feeds/news.xml'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15); $xml = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); die($xml);//added for debugging //$xml = curl_exec($ch); //curl_close($ch); // Include the handy XML data extraction functions. include 'xml_regex.php'; // An RSS 2.0 feed must have a channel title, and it will // come before the news items.

This makes CSS styling easier. $html = '<div class="rss_feed_headlines">'; // Markup the title of the channel as a hyperlink. $html .= '<h2 class="channel_title">'. '<a href="'.make_safe($channel_link).'">'. make_safe($channel_title).'</a></h2><dl>'; // Now iterate through the data array, building HTML for // each news item. $count = 0; foreach ($item_array as $item) { $html .= '<dt><a href="'.make_safe($item['url']).'">'. make_safe($item['title']).'</a></dt>'; //$html .= '<dd>'.make_safe($item['description']); if ($item['timestamp'] != false) { $html .= '<br />'; //'<span class="news_date">['. //gmdate('H:i, jS F T', $item['timestamp']). //']</span>'; } //echo '</dd>'; // Limit the output to five news items. if (++$count == 10) { break; } } $html .= '</dl></div>'; echo $html; } function make_safe($string) { $string = preg_replace('#<!\[CDATA\[.*?\]\]>#s', '', $string); $string = strip_tags($string); // The next line requires PHP 5, unfortunately. //$string = htmlentities($string, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8', false); // Instead, use this set of replacements in PHP 4. $string = str_replace('<', '<', $string); $string = str_replace('>', '>', $string); $string = str_replace('(', '&#40;', $string); $string = str_replace(')', '&#41;', $string); return $string; } $string = preg_replace('#<!\[CDATA\[.*?\]\]>#s', '', $string); ?> but it still display an empty page ???
