Where to put RSS XML Code on Website
I have my ownwebsite, and would like to fill some contents onto the website using RSS feeds from other websites. I know you need to use a RSS feed reader, but where do you put the XML codes? I tried to cut and paste the XML codes onto my webpage, it did not work. If that has to be on the webserver, what extension should I use? Newsgater says use the following to display, http://www.newsgator.com/ngs/subscr...px?url=feed_URL, it would then display Newsgator user login, how do I bypass that, so the readers who goto my webpage would just be able to read the news or the content?

Here's a bit of code that will display the rss feed on a php page. (I got it originally from a member at dp). Just put the url of the actual feed into the script where it says FULL URL HERE
Code:
<?php
$insideitem = false;
$tag = "";
$title = "";
$description = "";
$link = "";
function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;
if ($insideitem) {
$tag = $name;
} elseif ($name == "ITEM") {
$insideitem = true;
}
}
function endElement($parser, $name) {
global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;
if ($name == "ITEM") {
printf("<dt><a href='%s'>%s</a></dt>",
trim($link),htmlspecialchars(trim($title)));
printf("<dt>%s</dt><br>",htmlspecialchars(trim($description)));
$title = "";
$description = "";
$link = "";
$insideitem = false;
}
}
function characterData($parser, $data) {
global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;
if ($insideitem) {
switch ($tag) {
case "TITLE":
$title .= $data;
break;
case "LINK":
$link .= $data;
break;
}
}
}
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");
$fp = fopen("FULL URL HERE","r")
or die("Error reading RSS data.");
while ($data = fread($fp, 4096))
xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($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);
?>

The php code is to be inserted into an existing page on your site and will display their feed on your page. The links to articles/info will be pointed to the pages on their site, hence the benefit of the rss feed to the originator.

Most blog, forum , directory software has a function to generate the feed. Otherwise you may look here http://searchenginewatch.com/showPage.html?page=2175271
If that doesn't help, maybe be more specific on exactly what you're trying to do (db type, server, scripting language)
