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.

ok, i have remove the function file_get_contents. now the page display blank

MadTechie, yes, i got it from that site. i already set allow_url_fopen = On uncomment extension=php_curl.dll and add in $xml = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); die($xml);//added for debugging but still have the same error Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.dpreview.com/feeds/news.xml) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

if i take out $xml = file_get_contents('http://www.dpreview.com/feeds/news.xml'); i will have this error Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

this is my code <? $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); $xml = curl_exec($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.

Besides allow_url_fopen = On, what else should i do to make it works?

I got this warning message from a script I was working on to read XML feeds. Warning: file_get_contents(http://feeds2.feedburner.com/tmi/news/malaysia?format=xml) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. but when i run this "http://feeds2.feedburner.com/tmi/news/malaysia?format=xml". can anyone tell me what is the problem? i already set allow_url_fopen = On currently using PHP5 and Apache2.2 thanks

OK. i already turn on the ini_set('display_errors','On'); but it still blank phpbuilder.rss <? xml version="1.0" ?> <rss version="0.91"> <channel> <pubDate>Thu, 29 Sep 2005 15:16:13 GMT</pubDate> <description>Newest Articles and How-To's on PHPBuilder.com</description> <link>http://phpbuilder.com</link> <title>PHPBuilder.com New Articles</title> <webMaster>staff@phpbuilder.com</webMaster> <language>en-us</language> <item> <title>In Case You Missed It...The Week of September 26, 2005</title> <link>http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/weeklyroundup20050926.php3</link> <description>This week Elizabeth brings us news of an upcoming free webcast called Design Patterns in PHP, the schedule for the Fall Zend conference, security alerts for Moveable Type and phpBB, the release of Zend Platform 2, XAMPP for Linux, the latest PEAR/PECL releases and much more! </description> </item> <item> <title>In Case You Missed It...The Week of September 19, 2005</title> <link>http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/weeklyroundup20050919.php3</link> <description>This week Elizabeth brings us news of the release of PEAR 1.4, Zend Studio 5 Beta, a security vulnerability with PHP-Nuke, the release of a SimpleTest plugin for PHPEclipse, a patch for phpMyAdmin, the latest PEAR/PECL releases and much, much more!</description> </item> </channel> </rss> rssread.php <?php ini_set('display_errors','On'); ?> <?php $rssFeeds = array ('phpbuilder.rss'); //Loop through the array, reading the feeds one by one foreach ($rssFeeds as $feed) { readFeeds($feed); } function startElement($xp,$name,$attributes) { echo "Start $name"; } function endElement($xp,$name) { echo "End: $name"; } function characterDataHandler($xp,$data) { echo "Data: $data "; } function readFeeds($feed) { $fh = fopen($feed,'r'); // open file for reading $xp = xml_parser_create(); // Create an XML parser resource xml_set_element_handler($xp, "startElement", "endElement"); // defines which functions to call when element started/ended xml_set_character_data_handler($xp, "characterDataHandler"); while ($data = fread($fh, 4096)) { if (!xml_parse($xp,$data)) { return 'Error in the feed'; } } } ?> ???

which part of error reporting?

ok. i changed to the code below <?php $rssFeeds = array ('phpbuilder.rss'); // for now we'll just have the one file, but this can later be expanded //Loop through the array (just one element for now) and read the feedforeach foreach ($rssFeeds as $feed) { readFeeds($feed); } // The function to be called when a start element is read.
