or die("Error reading RSS data.");

but it keeps dying anyone know why ?
works on one server but not the other

I copied-and-pasted your fopen() to a script on my PC and was able to use it to read that file; so my guess is that the URL fopen wrapper is not enabled on your server.

1. Enable error_reporting(E_ALL)
2. Look at your error logs (or output if display_errors is on)

The resulting message will contain more information.

3. If it's still unclear what's happening, contact your systems / network administrator and ask them why it doesn't work. Perhaps there's a firewall which denies outgoing HTTP from your production servers.
