Karen && All,

Attached is a php script that I wrote to parse and display RSS Feeds in
a formatted table. Just replace the text (*the $file variable) at the
top of the script in upper case where the url goes and **presto you will
have rss incorporated into your page. 

If you wish to do feeds from multiple sites, this can be setup as a
class structure with an array of feeds that it pulls information from,
but this is just the static one feed script. 

I am using Apache and PHP 5.0.5-2 (but IIS works with php also)


*  reference line 8 of the code
** php installed and configured on your web server


Hope this helps,
