Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone has come across this error message before:

Warning: fopen(http://www.cislamonline.com/cms/external.php?type=rss2) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Connection refused in /home/sites/cislamonline.com/public_html/new/rsstest.php on line 86

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/sites/cislamonline.com/public_html/new/rsstest.php on line 88

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/sites/cislamonline.com/public_html/new/rsstest.php on line 93

I've posted for help on vbulletin.com but have been recommended to come here.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=232901

I'm just trying to put a page on my server which displays the a post and the post content from a forum which only contains that one post and no replies.

So what i want on a page is:

THREAD TITLE

THAT POSTS CONTENT IN FULL (its only one single post which is the starting post.)

Last editied: date


Any help would be much appreciated! thanks! :)

Please see this link for the code i have used with links to the rss pages: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=232901

thanks!

You would be better reposting the code here rather than asking people to switch to another site to read it.
