I'm trying to create a small application that will simply read an RSS feed and then layout the info on the page.
All the instructions I find make this seem simplistic but for some reason it just isn't working. I have the following
include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/rss.php');
$feed = file_get_contents('http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/sport/0/football/rss.xml?edition=int');
$items = simplexml_load_file($feed);
That's it, it then breaks on the third line with the following error
Error: [2] simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xm
The rest of the XML file is shown.
I have turned on allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include in my settings but still nothing. I've tried multiple feeds that all end up with the same result?
I'm going mad here
