RSS2HTML

Hello,

I am not very savy with html but have managed to have success in designing
my own RE website. I am trying to have an RSS feed from another site display
on mine and have downloaded the rss2html scrip from feedforall.com. I placed
the php file in my web and copied/pasted the rss info from the website that I
am trying to get the rss feed from. It displays exactly as I have it located
in the html. I know that I am doing something majorly wrong. Thank you for
any help.

Have you given the page a .php extension, and does your host support
PHP?

Where are you looking at the page - from the server or from your disc
drive - the PHP will only render from a server.
If from the server, please give a link to the page.

I am looking at my page from my disc drive. I checked out info with my web
host and they do support php. I tried to do a test text file with an
extension of php and published it. That did work. I am trying to run this rss
feed on my home or index page if possible.

Thanks,

John

You have serious problems with the script itself - the PHP is being
processed, but the output is the XML feed being received, rather than
the feed itself being formatted.

<DIV class=e>
<DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; TEXT-INDENT: -2em"><SPAN class=b> </SPAN>
<SPAN
class=m>&lt;</SPAN><SPAN class=t>title</SPAN><SPAN
class=m>&gt;</SPAN><SPAN
class=tx>Trouble seen in piggyback second mortgages</SPAN><SPAN
class=m>&lt;/</SPAN><SPAN class=t>title</SPAN><SPAN class=m>&gt;</SPAN>
</DIV></DIV>

Is one line from the output. As you can see the output is the complete
XML <title> tag.

There are other problems:
No <body> tag after the page <head> section

These tags appear half way down the page:
<body>

</body>

</html>

<body> should be at the beginning (after </head>)
</body> and </html> should be at the end.
