Did you look to see if there's a plugin that can do this?

I would like to display an RSS feed in a content element here: http://thepimmgroup.org/
In the box where it says "Coming soon"
When I add the PHP code to the index.php file, I'm getting errors with whichever method I have tried.
e.g., With the Simple Feed List WP plugin, I embed
<?php if (function_exists('simple_feed_list')) : ?> <h2>TEST FEED</h2> <ul> <?php simple_feed_list('feed://feeds2.feedburner.com/filehippo','5',''); ?></ul> <?php endif; ?>
And get an error:
Warning: fopen(feed://feeds2.feedburner.com/filehippo) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in/home1/thepimmg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-feed-list/simple-feed-list.php on line 41
And it just goes on to the next line with another error, then another, apparently caught in a loop.
If I try this code:
<?php include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/rss.php'); // path to include script $feed = fetch_rss('feed://feeds2.feedburner.com/filehippo'); // specify feed url $items = array_slice($feed->items, 0, 7); // specify first and last item ?> <?php if (!empty($items)) : ?> <?php foreach ($items as $item) : ?> <h2><a href="<?php echo $item['link']; ?>"><?php echo $item['title']; ?></a></h2> <p><?php echo $item['description']; ?></p> <?php endforeach; ?> <?php endif; ?>
I get this error: Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home1/thepimmg/public_html/wp-content/themes/ecogreen/index.php on line 79
BTW Line 79 reads:
$items = array_slice($feed->items, 0, 7);
With this code:
<?php include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/rss.php'); // path to include script $num_items = 10; $url = feed://news.google.com/news?q=biodiversity&output=rss; $rss = @fetch_rss( $url ); $items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, $num_items); echo "<br />n<h4>" . $rss->channel['title'] . "</h4>"; echo "<dl class="thepost">n"; foreach ($items as $item) { $href = $item['link']; $title = $item['title']; echo "<dt><a href=$href>$title</a></dt>n"; } echo "</dl>"; ?>
The site breaks and I get an error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home1/thepimmg/public_html/wp-content/themes/ecogreen/index.php on line 79. Line 79 is
$url = feed://news.google.com/news?q=biodiversity&output=rss;
(which is a valid feed).
So I'm kinda stuck. Can any of you PHP wizards please point me in the right direction?
Thank you!!!

Well it's not solved but I found a temporary fix using a Javascript application. http://feed2js.org I hope to implement a PHP solution if I can get your help!
