Hi
I know nothing about Pear, so I don't know how to debug this:
I've got a newly installed Movable Type blog with a couple of entries in
it, and I just found from php.net the pear classes to parse an RSS feed,
parser.php and rss.php, and this code from the PEAR site works
require_once "XML/RSS.php";
$rss =& new XML_RSS("http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot";);
$rss->parse();
echo "<h2>Headlines from slashdot</h2>\n";
echo "<ul>\n";
foreach ($rss->getItems() as $item) {
echo "<li><a href=\"" . $item['link'] . "\">" . $item['title'] .
"</a></li>\n";
}
echo "</ul>\n";
but if I point it at my blog:
http://www.bluetreeservices.co.uk/gps_tracking_news/atom.xml or
http://www.bluetreeservices.co.uk/gps_tracking_news/ or
http://www.bluetreeservices.co.uk/gps_tracking_news , parse returns an
empty array.
Am I just using the wrong code for that type of feed (I would have
thought any RSS reader would handle an atom format feed) or is it that
my server needs to provide atom.xml or .. what's going on?
I've no idea how to use PEAR::error with regard to $rss->parse() so I'm
a bit stumped about debugging it.
I'd certainly call myself a PHP programmer, but I've never really used
pear is the thing.
All help appreciated :-)
Cheers

Atom and RSS are completely different; the only similarities lie in the
fact they are both XML, and both used frequently for syndicating news.
You need an atom parser; or just load the feed into DOMDocument..
SimplePie and RssPhp are the only two I know that handle atom feeds well.
