Free RSS to HTML Script
Hanover, MA - January, 2005 - A free PHP script, rss2html.php, that converts RSS feeds to HTML has been made freely available by NotePage, Inc. The rss2html.php script allows webmasters to display RSS feeds on their website.
RSS or Really Simple Syndication, as it is commonly known, is a technology that gives webmasters the ability to to easily distribute and publish syndicated content on the Internet.
Most webmasters understand the potential benefits of making RSS feeds available for viewing in a web browser. FeedForAll's new rss2html.php script allows users to create webpages that will always display the most current information from the RSS feed, and because the resulting page is pure HTML, it will be in a format friendly to search engine robots. Using rss2html.php webmasters can customize the format and look of the web page created from the feed. The RSS feed's contents can easily be integrated into an existing website's theme. The rss2html.php script parses the RSS file, extracts the pertinent information, formats it, and serves it up as regular HTML.
The rss2html.php script runs on any webserver that can run PHP scripts, and it support feeds in the RSS 2.0, .93, .92, .91, or .90 format. Additional details and a download for the free script can be found at http://www.feedforall.com/free-php-script.htm
The new rss2html.php script is available from NotePage, Inc., makers of the popular RSS feed creation software, FeedForAll. FeedForAll's software enables webmaster to create, edit, manage and publish RSS feeds. RSS has evolved into a popular means to syndicate headlines and distribute content on the Internet. A free fully-functional 30-day trial of FeedForAll is available for download from http://www.feedforall.com
It is showing ~~~ItemTitle~~~~ and so forth instead of the xml item.
I am trying this with a template table insert using BasicHTMLTable.htm
-- but you may recognise that. The files are all in the same folder so it may be just a mistake in 'fetching' the xml to put into the page.
Note - I am guessing about the line to point to the xml file.
Here's the html code that I am inserting into my page:

It looks like you are pretty close. You just might not be calling it correctly.
I used the following link to test your webpage, with one of our feeds. Try using the same link, but with your RSS feed file after the 'XMLFILE=' parameter.
and I get no 'item' content and the xml doesn't look like mine.
My feed for all generated xml has different tags than the sample xml so I try both systems and get failure. For instance - my generated code has
"title"
"description"
etc. ... not "ItemTitle" "ItemDescription" so I am trying to stick with the generated xml code format.
Ideally, what I'd like would be to get my sample html page to present the xml automatically inside a table using the feed for all sample template.

What did you use to create the botnsitefeed.xml file? It isn't in a valid RSS format. Most of the tag names are wrong.
I have pasted here a corrected (at least mostly corrected) version of your feed:

Your code looks like my original code - except my content isn't all flush left. But I thought xml could handle some white space, indents.
I'll try removing my spaces on the margins. But the tags look the same. I'll work a little on it.
As for earlier bit that looked like this : _______________
________________
with the 2 word tags ... I got that by copying from the RSS file after opening it in a WordPad. It looked like that might be the format (versus what I got from generated FeedForAll code.
Even working with the generated code I get blank (as of now) so I think my hitch is the code line 'calling' the xml to the page.[/i]

I didn't get that squiggle item squiggle code from the RSS - I got it from the BasicHTMLTable template.
Putting the xml into the html should be simple =sigh=

I think I solved it.
I re-read the instruction page again and discovered I had left the php page as is, without putting my url line in.
So I redid all the suggested changes in the php and I borrowed the i frame suggestion from another query in this thread to make it all show up.
It even displays my template.
Thanks everyone who at the forum for bearing with me.
I have no experience with php ... so by mistake I was just changing the html page over & over while that error remained in the php.
so far #15's a charm -
I was just popping back in to give you a hand, but seems you figured it out.
Sorry I didn't help more, but you wouldn't have gotten that same warm fuzzy feeling that you do when you accomplish someting on your own :-)
