Parsing an external file

[Globox]

Hello, I would like this page to be parsed and displayed on my page: http://csnation.counter-strike.net/content/news.php?action=feed

It's a remote file, so I have no idea how to make it show up on my news.php page. There is a note before that page about that page that says this: the news feed is an RDF datapage of our latest news for use on your website. you can send it two other get variables: limit and prefix. for example:
news.php?action=feed&limit=5&prefix=csn

Could somone help me out?

Look at [man]fopen/man. This is the function that will let you get the XML from the other site. Once you have the XML it's up to you what you want to do with it.

For XLST transformation infomration look here.

Okay, so should my code look like this?

< ?php
if ( ! ($fp = fopen("http://csnation.counter-strike.net/content/news.php?action=feed" , "r" )) )
die("Couldn't open XML file!");
? >

And then I insert the variables like description and stuff in an array?

I've included a file that should parse that URL for your.

I got this this snippet from a tutorial on Zend.com and some other website, I can't find the URL right now.

This should help you out.

Btw: it does use fopen();
just follow the code and you'll learn something. 🙂
