?Template not an html file but a php file

Hi

I have uploaded the rss2html.php file.

I have inserted the .xml location of the remote feed i want to display on my site.

This feed is displayed fine.

However, I want to include the feed into the design of my site. However, my site template is not a .html file but a .php file.

It is basically an index.php file which inside it first calls an include("header.php") then has an echo " blah blah " which is basically where i want the feed displayed, then an include("footer.php").

Obviously the header.php contains html code and the footer the concluding html code, and the index pulls them all together.

When i put the $TEMPLATEfilename = "index.php"; and then load the rss2html.php file, all that is displayed is the feed. No template formatting at all.

I presume it's because it's not an html file...

Any ideas??

Thanks

Tom

What you want to do is name your template file something like blog.html

then rename your ress2html.php to index.php

This way when you load your page www.whatever.com/blog/ (if your server is setup it should load the index.php without having to add index.php after the /blob/) and it will do the rest.

so it will look like $TEMPLATEfilename = "blog.html";

my files are

blog.html
index.php (rss2html.php renamed)
FeedForAll_XMLParser.inc.php
rss2html-docs.txt

please post your php file and your header (and footer maybe). there is some problem with your includes.
