RSS Feed in Sidebar
 
i'm trying to include an RSS feed of headlines to my sidebar. is there anyone who can tell me how to pull that off?

this is the code I want to include from my file blogfeed.php. i know that i can't just copy and paste this into the template.

PHP Code:


    
    $feed 
'http://www.trickology.com/xmlsrv/rss2.php?blog=1';

    class 
RSSParser 
    
        var 
$insideitem false
        var 
$tag ""
        var 
$title ""
        var 
$link ""
    
        function 
startElement($parser$tagName$attrs) { 
             if (
$this->insideitem) { 
                  
$this->tag $tagName
             } elseif (
$tagName == "ITEM") { 
                  
$this->insideitem true
             } 
        } 
    
        function 
endElement($parser$tagName) { 
             if (
$tagName == "ITEM") { 
                  
printf("<a href='%s' class='headlines'>%s</a><br>"
                     
trim($this->link),htmlspecialchars(trim($this->title))); 
                  
$this->title ""
                  
$this->description ""
                  
$this->link ""
                  
$this->insideitem false
             } 
        } 
    
        function 
characterData($parser$data) { 
             if (
$this->insideitem) { 
                  switch (
$this->tag) { 
                        case 
"TITLE"
                        
$this->title .= $data
                        break; 
                        case 
"LINK"
                        
$this->link .= $data
                        break; 
                  } 
             } 
        } 
    } 
    
    
$xml_parser xml_parser_create(); 
    
$rss_parser = new RSSParser(); 
    
xml_set_object($xml_parser,&$rss_parser); 
    
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser"startElement""endElement"); 
    
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser"characterData"); 
    
$fp fopen($feed,"r"
        or die(
"Error reading RSS data."); 
    while (
$data fread($fp4096)) 
        
xml_parse($xml_parser$datafeof($fp)) 
             or die(
sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",  
                  
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),  
                  
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser))); 
    
fclose($fp); 
    
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);

Hmm.. A first step would be to marry that code with this hack I wrote

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=70848

That way you'd have a cron job that would output the information periodically into a template. You could then use the PHPINCLUDE_START template to parse that template and then include the template in your header (or wherever) to get it to post.
