[SOLVED] Whoever solves this for me gets a nice X-mas card!

[minute44]

nope, same error.

Try replacing this part with

PHP: Select all

$values = array();

$indices = array();



// to make this easier for all involved, parse the 

xml_parse_into_struct($xmlReader, file_get_contents('http://www.empireonline.com/rss/rss.asp'), $values, $indices); 

It shouldn't be needed but may fix the problem... the code is still the same as mine though

Luke, it's the code thing, it messes up the asciis.
You may want to upload this instead, copy and pasting does not work.

[minute44]

yeah upload a php file...

[Rakuli]

here it is

[minute44]

HA!!!! It's working now! To a degree.... it's listing the links twice though. any ideas?

[Rakuli]

Yes, there is a trailing echo getLatestEmpireNews(); at the bottom of that file I uploaded.

Remove that line.

Sweet! thanks you guys! awesomeness...

Now, one more question. The link seperator.... I've made the output <li><a href="foo">foo foo</a></li> so I no longer need any seperator...what do I need to take out?

[minute44]

never mind... done it

Thank you guys so much!

[minute44]

Just noticed though... it's causing one XHTML error.... any ideas what I could do about that?

[alexgeek]

Try this:

PHP: Select all

$output .= '<a href="' . htmlentities($values[$indices['LINK'][$i]]['value']). '" title="' . $values[$indices['DESCRIPTION'][$i]]['value'] . '">' . htmlentities($values[$indices['TITLE'][$i]]['value'] ). '</a>' . $linkSeparator; 

Edit - updated

[minute44]

Nice one Alex, what was it you changed?

[alexgeek]

htmlentities() on the results, changes & -> &amp; etc.

[minute44]

sweet

Want to mark this as solved now?
