<?php

$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://librarytools.com/events/sampledata.txt'
);


here you are using a PHP 5 function, and he said he was only using PHP 4.4.4
So this script won't work for him.

foreach ($xml->source->result as $f) {
   $name = '?';
   $date = '?';

   foreach ($f as $event) {
       if ($event['n'] == 'eventname') {
           $name = $event;
       } elseif ($event['n'] == 'eventnextoccurrencedate') {
           $date = date('D, M d Y H:i:s', strtotime($event));
       }
   }

   echo "    <tr><td>{$name}</td><td>{$date}</td></tr>\n";
}

?>

</table>

Gotta love SimpleXML. :-)
