Doesn’t work. Maybe it is rocket science.

Then you should test your PHP script by executing it as a URL in your web browser, e.g., the site you attempted, works on my script:

http://jade.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/feed/rss2js.php?src=http://infotechvi.com/news.xml

Finally, in the code you sent me:

<script language=”JavaScript” src=”rss2js.php?

src=http://infotechvi.com/news.xml“> </script>

will only work if you call it from a web page in the same directory as your PHP script, ideally you would issue a FULL url that points to your script:

<script language=”JavaScript” src=”http://www.somesite.com/feed/rss2js.php?

src=http://infotechvi.com/news.xml“> </script>

This is experimental, free, so some leg work is going to be on your end.

I was mainly interested in this to share it with my local RSS group but it does not seem to be as “no brainer portable” as I hoped.

Thanks anyway.

I have made an update of the code (blogged) to try and take care of this, as well as add some display options mentioned by Randy Brown.

See:

Most of the substance of these tips are bouncing around elsewhere, but now Alan, with some help from D’Arcy, wrap up the key elements of rendering RSS feeds into any web presentation (page, weblog, course) in a nice tidy package:…

Alan at Maricopa has provided a nicely documented and exampled page which shows how to import RSS feeds onto any Web page, not just a weblog page. Uses OnyxRSS and some PHP Alan wrote. Thanks!
