Thread: Trying to hard code an rss feed???

I'm trying to pull an rss feed from an event calendar in my site, onto the home page to show some of the upcoming events. I know I can use a file upcoming.php for it, went digging through my event calendar forum to find out how exactly to do this and they only gave me how to do it for joomla... mine and html site. They gave the code as follows:

PHP Code:

<?php if ( mosCountModules( 'CalTrigger' )) { 
echo '<div class="moduletable"><h3>Upcoming events:</h3>'; 
include 'calendar/upcoming.php'; //The path to where upcoming.php resides 
echo '</div>';  
} ?>

I'm assuming the mosCountModules is joomla mod term, anyone have any idea how I can get this accomplish through straight php coding? I have tried installing carp and using that to pull the feed, but I just get nothing but "event calendar created by blah,blah" no events. Now knowing I can pull the feed off a file though, I don't think I can use carp to accomplish this. Anyone have any ideas????

check this out and see if this will work for you!, So What is "Feed to JavaScript"?

download it, and see the technology used in the php file.

I had to re-write this script for a client!, it's killer. But you need to
break it apart if you just want to use it in a php include instead of
js include.

Finally got this working, I pulled the wrong file name like an idiot! But I love the tool you recommended, will definitely use that in future projects!!

np glad to provide a resource, glad you got it fixed.
