/// OK I found it, there were two different feeds, and I was ftp'ing to the wrong file Do'h, will leave the post for prosperity
Wierd problem, I'm accessing a rss feed, but my code is showing old info.
The feed comes from here.
http://feeds.feedburner.com/medicalfacts
The rss link is this
http://feeds.feedburner.com/EhealthMedicalfactsnl
If I use an rss reader I get the up to date info, but not as a html page as shown here
http://scraf.com/rss/test.php
For what it's worth, here is the code (straight out of the Php Cookbook)
[php]
<?php
class pc_RSS_item{
var $title = '';
var $description = '';
var $link = '';
var $pubDate = '';
function display(){
$this->description = str_replace ( '&', '&', $this->description );
$this->description = str_replace ( 'ë', 'ë', $this->description );
$this->description = str_replace ( '’', '\'', $this->description );
$this->description = str_replace ( '[image1_left]', '', $this->description );
$this->description = str_replace ( '€', '€', $this->description );
$this->description = str_replace ( 'ï', 'ï', $this->description );
$this->title = str_replace ( '&', '&', $this->title );
$this->title = str_replace ( 'ë', 'ë', $this->title );
$this->title = str_replace ( '’', '\'', $this->title );
$this->title = str_replace ( '[image1_left]', '', $this->title );
$this->title = str_replace ( '€', '€', $this->title );
$this->title = str_replace ( 'ï', 'ï', $this->title );
$this->pubDate = substr_replace ( $this->pubDate, '',0,4);
$this->pubDate = substr_replace ( $this->pubDate, '',12,18);
printf('<p><a href="%s">%s</a><br /></p><div id="datum">%s</div><p>%s</p>',
$this->link,htmlspecialchars($this->title),$this->pubDate,
htmlspecialchars($this->description));
}
}
class pc_RSS_parser{
var $tag;
var $item;
function start_element($parser, $tag, $attributes){
if('item' == $tag){
$this->item = new pc_RSS_item;
}elseif(!empty($this->item)){
$this->tag = $tag;
}
}
function end_element($parser, $tag){
if('item' == $tag){
$this->item->display();
unset($this->item);
}
}
function character_data($parser, $data){
if(!empty($this->item)){
if(isset($this->item->{$this->tag})){
$this->item->{$this->tag} .= trim($data);
}
}
}
}
$xml = xml_parser_create();
$rss = new pc_RSS_parser;
xml_set_object($xml, $rss);
xml_set_element_handler($xml, 'start_element', 'end_element');
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml, 'character_data');
xml_parser_set_option($xml, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, false);
// HERE I"M ACCESSING THE FEED
$feed = 'http://feeds.feedburner.com/EhealthMedicalfactsnl';
$fp = fopen($feed, 'r') or die("Not getting the rss feed");
while($data = fread($fp, 4096)){
xml_parse($xml, $data, feof($fp)) or die("Parse ain't working today, sir");
}
fclose($fp);
xml_parser_free($xml);
?>
[/php]
Anyone have an idea as to what is happenning?
