Hello, I wonder if someone could help me with a small problem.
I've been tinkering with php for only about a week now so I'm a little perplexed by a script which is at present a little too complex for me to grasp.
What I'm trying to do is this ... I'm using SMF forum software to put together a forum offline on an apache server. Once complete I'll upload it to a web server. I thought it would be nice to have a scrolling rss news feed in the header of the forum with links relative to the forum content.
Having searched for and downloaded probably every single rss parser and scrolling ticker on the entire web, the best solution I've decided on is to use ...
CaRP caching rss parser in CarpCache mode to store a raw unaltered XML file from the chosen feed at preset time intervals to conserve server bandwidth ...
then ... rss2html to parse the local XML file with a template to put the feed into exactly the right format to be then used by the only decent scrolling ticker I could find that seems to be true cross-browser compatible ... ScrollIt
Now ... CaRP works beautifully, rss2html works beatifully and ScrollIt works beautifully but the final thing I need to do is to make it so that when CaRP checks the locally cached XML files timestamp and goes off to get the updated feed I need to use something like "include" to call the rss2html script to update the data for ScrollIt after the XML file has been closed.
So my problem is that I can't find the exact point in either of the 2 CaRP scripts where I need to insert my "include" statement. I've tried searching for all instances of fwrite and fclose etc' to try to find the point where the cache update is finalized and I've also tried emailing the contact address on the CaRP site but to no avail.
If one of you more experienced coders could help me out with this it would be very much appreciated.
The scripts are both fairly big so I don't know if it would be permitted to post them here but if you want me to post the code in order to help solve the problem then I certainly will do 
Thanking you very, very much in advance.
Soothsayer.
