ATTENTION: RSS Magician NOT Working with PHP 5. It's only Working with PHP 4 + EXPAT

[halfhuman]

I have spent many hours trying to make RSS Magician working, but no luck.

This is the conclusion that I got from my web hosting company, after looking into XML parser error messages:

RSS Magician NOT Working with PHP 5. It's only Working with PHP 4 + EXPAT

Current RSS Magician script need to be changed so that it will work with PHP 5.

I wish extensive testing were done by Half Again prior to its release of RSS Magician. Server requirements should be posted on its sales page clearly indicating all requirements for the script to work.

So far you are the only one having that problem. Either few hundreads of other users have all PHP 4 + EXPAT (which i highly doubt) either there are other things that make it not work on your server.

Omar, I got your email. Thank you for fixing the problem for me. Now RSS Magician is working.  

I noticed couple of changes made to file rss.php.

Just in case others might encounter errors similar to mine, which basically have been described here:

Here are changes made to rss.php:

Change Line 17:

if(0) {

To:

if(1) {

After Line 159:

$combiner->Assign($f);

Add a line:

$items = array();

Thanks again for your help.

On the server is already the files with the fix in place, so nobody will really eed to do the changes manually, just download again and replace rss.php file

I have RSS Magician runnning on servers with php4 and php5 installed.
