This code works perfectly with any other rss feed but not with google news feeds. I do not know what I am doing wrong, I think it's some bug. I keep getting this error when I try to read google news feeds
This XML document is invalid, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: SYSTEM or PUBLIC, the URI is missing at line 1, column 61
For example if we try the http://stackoverflow.com/feeds feeds it works nicely, but not with google news feeds. Can some one give me a hint?
<?php
//get the simplepie library
require_once('simplepie.inc');
//grab the feed
$feed = new SimplePie();
$feed->set_feed_url("http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&gl=us&q=austria&ie=UTF-8&output=rss");
$feed->force_feed(true);
//$feed->encode_instead_of_strip(true);
//enable caching
$feed->enable_cache(true);
//provide the caching folder
$feed->set_cache_location('cache');
//set the amount of seconds you want to cache the feed
$feed->set_cache_duration(1800);
//init the process
$feed->init();
//let simplepie handle the content type (atom, RSS...)
$feed->handle_content_type();
