It looks like you're getting a 403 Forbidden error whenever the script tries to execute. I took your provided data and attempted to view the output with this URL statement: http://tdawool.esy.es/rss2html.php?TEMPLATE=sample-template.html&XMLFILE=http://www.investing.com/rss/news_1.rss

It's very, very brief but a 403 error shows just before it redirects back to the hosting site's URL.

Here is a good resource for information on 403 errors and how to resolve them:

OK, thank you "Tech Support"
you said :"It's very, very brief but a 403 error shows just before it redirects back to the hosting site's URL. "
that means it works ,
i just have to ask the person responsible for security of the web server to find a solution for it , if there is any .
and another question :
is there another way to bring rss to my site that i missed reading it in that site?
thank you very much

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you only looking to bring in rss items that you missed reading to the site?

Aside from the examples listed, there isn't another way that I know of.

There's a typo in the URL statement:
http://tdawool.esy.es/rss2html.php?TEMPLATE=sample-template.html&;XMLFILE=http://www.investing.com/rss/news_1.rss

I know it may seem inconsequential but there's a ; before the XMLFILE= reference and that ; would prevent the line from executing properly.

This is the link that has each section formatted properly and yields the 403 error:
http://tdawool.esy.es/rss2html.php?TEMPLATE=http://tdawool.esy.es/sample-template.html&XMLFILE=http://www.investing.com/rss/news_1.rss

the link still leads for the error 404 but in my when i opened the "my topic"
there was an error 403 and now 404
is 404 means something else?
ok thanks i will take my time to figured it out

I'm not sure where the 404 is coming from because I haven't seen it. I can go to each of the three separate files in question without the 404 error:

http://tdawool.esy.es/rss2html.php
http://tdawool.esy.es/sample-template.html
http://www.investing.com/rss/news_1.rss

and if I put them in the query string for the full URL, it flashes the 403 Forbidden error before redirecting to the hosting site's main page.

why it shows error and some code when going
http://tdawool.esy.es/rss2html.php
what does the error code means

After reviewing more information on the 403 error with relation to PHP scripts and RSS feeds, we think problem is likely that your webhost is being denied access to the rss feed file by investing.com

There is a possible way to confirm this if you have a certain level of access with your webhost:

1) In Windows on your system, run a Command Prompt.

2) In the Command prompt, type the following and hit enter after each line:
telnet tdawool.esy.es
enter your username
enter your password
wget www.investing.com/rss/news_1.rss

or, if your webhost uses SSH, these would be the commands to use:

telnet tdawool.esy.es
ssh
enter password
wget www.investing.com/rss/news_1.rss

This will only work on Unix style web hosts, and if your webhosts allow their users to telnet (or ssh) into it.

If it is a windows web server and you have remote access to it, you could simply run a browser from the webserver itself and try to access the investing.com rss feed file.

C:\>telnet tdawool.esy.es
Connecting To tdawool.esy.es...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23
: Connect failed

C:\>
what doesw that mean i have to open port 23 in my router ? or i think that i got to ask my host to open port 23 ?
thank you :)

It means the host hasn't allowed you that level of access to the web server. They may or may not allow it if you request it, though.

Do you have direct access to the web server?
