Yea I have to admit I was being a little silly with that question. I wasn't really being clear. I have a script that aggregates rss feeds for an index to my site. I copied this script from an acquaintance. I think he wrote it for php5 and the DOMDocument APIs are all different for 4. And I can't seem to find good documentation for the API version my server is using. Neither the 4 or 5 api documentation matches the errors I'm getting for the DOMDocument constructor. For php5 the constructor requires no aruguments and has a "load" method to load pages from http requests. PHP 4 documentation says that the DOMDocument object takes two string arguments for "version" and "encoding". The version on my server appears to want a string that contains the xml code because it is present an error that says expect "<" tag.
Here is the script. Any advice on porting it to php4 or help with figuring out what version is running on my hosting companies web server would be greatly appreciated.
