The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

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.
