rss parsing

[darkshine]

Hi

u try to parse news from bbc from a rss page on the site...but nothing appears as output...
Any idea?

<?php
/*


Include this file in the script you want to display the BBCi world news.

e.g. require("news.php");

The data will be placed in the array $ndata, with the following structure

$ndata[$n]['title'] - contains the title of the news piece
$ndata[$n]['desc'] - contains the description of the news piece
$ndata[$n]['link'] - contains the link to the news piece
*/

   switch ($name) {
      case "ITEM":
      	 $write = "false";
         $initem = false;
         $artcount++;
         break;
      default:
      	 $write = "false";
      	 break;
   }
}
}

function characterData($parser, $data) {
global $write;
global $writeto;
global $ndata;
global $initem;
global $artcount;

if ($initem == true) {
   if ($write == "true") {
      $ndata[$artcount][$writeto] = $data;
   }
}
}

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");
if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r"))) {
   die("could not open XML input");
}
while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
   if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) {
      die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
      xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
      xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
   }
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
?>
