Hi all im new to this so dont flame me lol. I have a validated xml file and have been trying to get it to display on my site. I am trying to make rss2html work but came up with this error
(Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting ',' or ';' in /mnt/web_h/d26/s39/b023d060/www/rss/rss2html.php on line 809)
I am on a unix server and the page is here> http://fasttracksracing.netfirms.com/rss/rss2html.php
When I went back in to find the error all I see on line 809 is this
echo "\n";
This is all new to me. If it was straight html I would see the problem. If you need any more of the code just ask and I will post it.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

Can you post a link to the RSS feed (XML file) you are trying to use with rss2html? If you can post a link to your template file, that may also be of use.

Thanks.

I need the version from the script, not the documentation. In the first 10 lines of the rss2html.php is a line that looks like this:

// $Id: rss2html.php,v 2.17 2006/02/13 18:00:27 housley Exp $

That says the version is 2.17

Now that I am home and can look into the file with dreamweaver this is what it shows on line 10

Based on the version you posed that is the correct code and there isn't an error in what you posted. What version of PHP are you running?

My site is currently running php4 but I can also use php5 if I wanted to.
Just checking but here is line 25 to line 32 of the basic code to make sure I have it written right.
//$XMLfilename = "http://fasttracksracing.netfirms.com/rss/news.xml";
$XMLfilename = "news.xml";

//
// If TEMPLATE is passed as part of the REQUEST_URI, then it will be used
// otherwise the the file below is used.
//$TEMPLATEfilename = "http://fasttracksracing.netfirms.com/BasicWebpage.html";
$TEMPLATEfilename = "BasicWebpage.html";

php4 is good. And yes your changes are right. You might want to try downloading again and re-uploading if you are still getting errors.
