Hello,

I was wondering how you use the Google News feed? I know how to get the XML page that I would like to display on my site, but dont know how to parse it so it does display

Examples w/ it on are
www.denzelwashington.info
www.christyhemme.info

Help would be MUCH appriciated.

Thanks!

We already have it in place and it works like a charm.

I was looking at that but find it very hard to follow because of lack of installation/use instructions

Alright, here's the lowdown. This came straight from my code. So you'll need to change the include path, and whatever other code you need to change.

PHP Code:

<?php
require_once('magpierss/rss_fetch.inc');
$namepart = $urlkeyword;
$url = "http://news.google.com/news?q=$urlkeyword&output=rss";
$rss = fetch_rss( $url );
echo "Channel Title: " . $rss->channel['title'] . "<p>";
echo "<ul>";
foreach ($rss->items as $item) {
$href = $item['link'];
$title = $item['title'];
$desc = $item['description'];
echo "<li><a href=$href>$title</a></li>";
echo "$desc";
}
echo "</ul>";?>

For some reason that code comes up as an error for me. Check LanceFans.com

I appriciate your help

http://www.lancefans.com/index.htm <- that might be why it's not working. You're not getting an error, just straight PHP code. You have to use PHP files to parse PHP code.

Thank you, that got it!

Thanks for the help so far, I have one more question though...

I am getting some good SE traffic from people searching for headlines, but am curious if there is any scripts that allow you to archive the news articles on your own site so that they will be more benificial for SE purposes.

Anyone know?
