vb.org Archive - Latest threads on an external page

Hi! I'm triying to integrate in my portal the latest threads of vbulletin, I'm using this php code:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ######################################################

// ## configuration

// ##

// ## $rss_file= ‘http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/external.php?type=rss’;

// ## Adjust this variable to point to your RSS feed

 

$rss_file = &#8216;http://forums.glassesadvisor.com/external.php?type=rss’;

   

// ## configuration end

// ######################################################

// ## Do not touch code below!

   

   

$is_item = false;

$tag = &#8221;;

$title = &#8221;;

$description = &#8221;;

$link = &#8221;;

   

function character_data($parser, $data)

{

    global $is_item, $tag, $title, $description, $link;

    if ($is_item)

    {

        switch ($tag)

        {

            case &#8220;TITLE”:

            $title .= $data;

            break;

            case &#8220;DESCRIPTION”:

            $description .= $data;

   

            break;

            case &#8220;LINK”:

            $link .= $data;

            break;

        }

    }

}

   

function begin_element($parser, $name)

{

    global $is_item, $tag;

    if ($is_item)

    {

        $tag = $name;

    }

    else if ($name == &#8220;ITEM”)

    {

        $is_item = true;

    }

}

   

function end_element($parser, $name)

{

    global $is_item, $title, $description, $link, $rss_output;

    if ($name == &#8220;ITEM”)

    {

        $rss_output .= &#8220;<dt><strong><a href=’” . trim($link) . “‘>” . htmlspecialchars(trim($title)) . “</a></strong></dt><dd>” . htmlspecialchars(trim($description)) . “</dd>”;

        $title = &#8220;”;

        $description = &#8220;”;

        $link = &#8220;”;

        $is_item = false;

    }

}

   

   

$parser = xml_parser_create();

   

xml_set_element_handler($parser, &#8220;begin_element”, “end_element”);

xml_set_character_data_handler($parser, &#8220;character_data”);

$fp = fopen($rss_file,&#8221;r”);

   

while ($data = fread($fp, 4096))

{

    xml_parse($parser, $data, feof($fp));       

}

   

fclose($fp);

xml_parser_free($parser);

It works, but I would like to stylice this part:

PHP Code:


		
			
$rss_output .= &#8220;<dt><strong><a href=’” . trim($link) . “‘>” . htmlspecialchars(trim($title)) . “</a></strong></dt><dd>” . htmlspecialchars(trim($description)) . “</dd>”;

I'm triying to use this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<div style= "style options...."></a href=&#8217;” . trim($link) . “>” . htmlspecialchars(trim($title)) . “</a></div>” . htmlspecialchars(trim($description)) .;

But I can't apply any div style or td style or similar... because php don't compile that... I would like to know how to show the rss_output in a custom area so I can format text... etc.

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
