News section from phpBB3

[DarkArchon]

Ok, what I'm trying to do here is fetch info from a phpBB3 forum and put it up on the front page of my site in a little group of 3. However, I'm having problems (or I wouldn't be here). I believe the problem has something to do with line 10. If I comment it and the brackets with it out I can make it all the way to line 26 before something screams at me, the news.php will also show a good connection at that point.

 

The error it's giving me now can be found at the bottom of my page http://www.orderofatlas.com/as/index.php look for the "Testing goes here!" block. Right now it says the error occurs on line 12, but if you go to news.php it doesn't show an output at all, either failed or good, which indicates to me that it's not making it that far (again, line 10 maybe?). Anyway, I'm hoping someone else here can shed some light on this. I'm probably missing something obvious, but have been staring at it too long to see it.

 

Thanks
