Include won't display

I am using the rss2html script (http://www.feedforall.com/free-php-script.htm) to pull in RSS headlines on a site.  Everything in the source of the 2 generated files looks good when I access them directly:

 

http://betatest.kera.org/includes/rss/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/kera/news/rss/1.xml&TEMPLATE=http://betatest.kera.org/includes/rss/localnews.html&MAXITEMS=4

http://betatest.kera.org/includes/rss/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1001&TEMPLATE=http://betatest.kera.org/includes/rss/localnews.html&MAXITEMS=4

 

However, when I try to pull those files into a test page as php includes, nothing shows up:

 

http://betatest.kera.org/includes/rss/newstest.php

 

Here is the source code for the above file (newstest.php):

 

<!-- Begin News Headlines -->
<!-- START North Texas News Module -->

<?php

include("http://betatest.kera.org/includes/rss/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/kera/news/rss/1.xml&TEMPLATE=http://betatest.kera.org/includes/rss/localnews.html&MAXITEMS=4");
?>

<!-- END North Texas News Module -->

<!-- START NPR News Module -->

<?php

include("http://betatest.kera.org/includes/rss/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1001&TEMPLATE=http://betatest.kera.org/includes/rss/localnews.html&MAXITEMS=4");
?>

<!-- END NPR News Module -->


<!-- End News Headlines -->

 

 

It all seems deceptively simple, yet it won't work. What am I doing wrong?

What version of PHP are you running?

 

From the php.net site:

Windows versions of PHP prior to PHP 4.3.0 do not support accessing remote files via this function, even if allow_url_fopen is enabled.

 

You can always use readfile() instead of include.

Thanks for that tip - I will check with our host.

 

But here's another issue:  I am successfully using relative links in includes to other content on my server, but when trying to access this file as a relative link in the include with the variables already included in the file (instead of changing them via an extended URL as shown above), it still won't work.
