coolbeansdude51 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I am attempting to phase an ill formed rss feed. Actually a couple of them. They don't validate via the w3 validator and I don't have the power/control to make them validate. I am stuck with them. So far I have already tried: simpleXML xmlReader magpierss None of them can phase the rss feed. Anyone have any suggestions? The feeds are: http://blink-cms.bethel.edu/channels/news-events/bethel-news-viewer/rss.xml http://www.bethel.edu/news/bu-news/rss.xml http://www.bethel.edu/e-news/rss.xml Thanks in advance for you wisdom and knowledge. I have been hitting my head against a wall for about a week now ... -coolbeansdude51 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150821-solved-phasing-an-error-filled-rss-feed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 What exactly is phasing? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150821-solved-phasing-an-error-filled-rss-feed/#findComment-792327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbeansdude51 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 BAH! Yes great question. The idea is that I would be able to use the data to post to a twitter account. Unfortunately the automated services can't read the feeds ... cause of all the errors. SO I decided that just creating my own would be easy. Done some work with the twitter API and it shoudlnt' be that hard. The problem is I can't get any of those tools that I normally use to work with those feeds that I posted. Normally I could use simpleXML to prepare the rss feed to easily enter it into twitter. Does that make sense? Thanks for the help/question! -coolbeansdude51 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150821-solved-phasing-an-error-filled-rss-feed/#findComment-792329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 An XML parser is required to halt if there is syntactical errors in the document...

Mchl Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 All of these are well formed XML however Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150821-solved-phasing-an-error-filled-rss-feed/#findComment-792495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Oh, I didn't bother checking. I assumed it was a syntax error considering he had trouble parsing it.
