Parsing MochiAds feed in a friendly way

August 28, 2008 • Php by Emanuele Feronato • 10 Comments

I made this little script to debug my portal script (almost completed) and I want to share it with you.

It simply shows MochiAds feed in a friendly way, using lists.

          echo "</li>";
     }
     echo "</ul></li>";
}
echo "</ol>";
 
?>

Hope you will find it useful.

    When I run the page I get a undifined function call at line 5.

    That’s because your hosting server does not support Php 5.2
