I finally found a rss reader I understand I think.
It works when I try the downloaded "default" code, but not when I replace the url I want to get news from (http://expressen.se/rss/nyheter'>http://expressen.se/rss/nyheter).
When I replace the default url I get this error:
Does anyone know why?
Here is the original code

Place the URL of an RSS feed in the $file variable.
The $rss_channel array will be filled with data from the feed,
every RSS feed is different by by and large it should contain:
Array {
[TITLE] = feed title
[DESCRIPTION] = feed description
[LINK] = link to their website
[IMAGE] = Array {
[URL] = url of image
[DESCRIPTION] = alt text of image
}
[ITEMS] = Array {
[0] = Array {
[TITLE] = item title
[DESCRIPTION] = item description
[LINK = a link to the story
}
.
.
.
}
}
By default it retrives the Reuters Oddly Enough RSS feed. The data is put into the array
structure so you can format the information as you see fit.
