[SOLVED] Reading in an RSS feed

[jdubwelch]

I'm trying to read in a rss feed and use it in my own php rss parser.

 

I'm reading in a lot of feeds, but some don't work.  I have an application on my computer called netNewsWire that reads tons of RSS feeds. I copied the feed url into my code and it errors out.  When I type in the url into my browser nothing shows up as well.

 

Is there a way to read it?  or is that some security type thing so I can't do anything with it?

 

an example url i'm trying to read in is: http://www.gazettetimes.com/?rss=sports/beaver_sports/football

 

I don't know if you need to see my code or not, I can post it if you want or you can see it at: http://www.jwelchdesign.com/rssDMX-code.txt

 

and this is the page that runs the script:  you'll see that it errors out because it can't read anything in.

I would think that you need to type in the whole url, IE:

 

http://www.site.com/sports/beaver_sports/football

 

If you do not it attempts to access a "non-existant" file on the server.

When i look at this page:

http://www.gazettetimes.com/rss/

 

It appears the correct url for the feed is actually

http://www.gazettetimes.com/?rss=beavers_sports/mens_sports/football

 

Hope that helps. The feed url you provided also shows a blank page for me as well
