I didn't realize you wanted to do this in PHP, so the syntax I
suggested was the JS equivalent. But glad I could help, anyway.

To get PubSub back on the iGoogle team's radar, I'd suggest creating
an issue here:

As an alternative, you might be able to pull it off with a shared
cookie; see 
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Gadgets-API/browse_thread/thread/6786832a5de82a4e.
My thinking would be to have the "selector" gadget store the subject
in a userpref, then "publish" it to the others using a cookie, as I
described in that thread.
