[gregor]

[3nd3r]

here is the code #1

rsslib.php

<?PHP

/*

RSSLIB 1.1



Original Author: Steve Yelvington ([url="http://yelvington.com/"]http://yelvington.com/[/url])



Modifications by Bob Zoller (bob@helpermonkey.org):

	- use fsockopen() instead of fopen() to utilize timeouts

	- fixed bug in makebullet() that caused output to break

	- added code to customize the link list output a bit

	- various configuation options added



Bugfix by Neill Newman (njnewm@essex.ac.uk):

	- changed it to use PHP's parse_url() function, rather than my crappy egrep stuff ;)



Name Change by deltab (deltab@psy.ed.asu.edu):

	- Thanks for the history lesson!  rdflib was renamed to rsslib.







Usage example:



getrdf("http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf", 30);

listrdf("slashdot.rdf");



Where 30 is the number of minutes you wish to cache

the page for before making another request



The configuration options should explain themselves.



Bugs: None known.. please report to [email=bob@helpermonkey.org]bob@helpermonkey.org[/email]

[gregor]

your problem is the file rsslib.php.

it's the function "listrdf", which is problematic.

when we look at the line 78 in this file we see:

<pre>$fp = fopen($newsdir . $rdf, "r");</pre>

i know there is nothing wrong with this line,.. so let's check one line above and one bellow this line:

above:

<pre>global $newsdir;</pre>

-- looks ok!

bellow:

<pre>if (!$fp) return; //just quit on error</pre>

-- looks ok to! but you can try the "return" with "return 0" or "return false".

if this doesn't work,... try bugging the server admins. it looks like simething isn't working as it should be on this server. (maybe new php version (4.1.2) will help)

i also tried it @ home on iis & php and it works. if you don't get it to work... contact me,.. and i will make new script.. well.. if you really really want to ;)

[3nd3r]

im still getting nothing...... errrr my head hurts.....

what did u mean by "it's the function "listrdf", which is problematic"?

[gregor]

that it didn't matter if it has reported you an error in slashdot.php. it's only 1st error that matters.

what about ars.php? does this file works okay? if it does, then try also other news sources, otherwise,... the x-files must be reopened again :p

[3nd3r]

ars.php gives me these errors:

Warning: fopen("/hsphere/local/home/neonerds/<< spam >>/rdf/ars.rdf","w") - No such file or directory in /hsphere/local/home/neonerds/<< spam >>/staff/users/3nd3r/ad/rsslib.php on line 54

Warning: fopen("/hsphere/local/home/neonerds/<< spam >>/rdf/ars.rdf","r") - No such file or directory in /hsphere/local/home/neonerds/<< spam >>/staff/users/3nd3r/ad/rsslib.php on line 78

[zivan56]

Are you sure that the file /hsphere/local/home/neonerds/<< spam >>/rdf/slashdot.rdf exists? Because it says no such file or dir. Might not be correct case or something.

[3nd3r]

w000000000000tttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!! it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
