If you're using PHP5, you can use SimpleXML to parse your feed. There's a decent explanation at http://blog.stuartherbert.com/php/2007/01/07/using-simplexml-to-parse-rss-feeds/. If you're still looking to move to CF, the look at Ray Camden's RSS.cfc. I don't have a URI, but check riaforge.com or his blog at ray.camdenfamily.com.
For your error, though, I just blogged one reason for that (and a solution) at http://musetracks.instantspot.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/3/18/Consuming-an-RSS-Feed-with-ColdFusion. Specifically, look at "Issue II". Hope this helps. On 3/21/07, Tom Avey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >What error do you get?
