[PHP] An easier way? $_POST[] = $_SESSION[]

Hi!
You can get the content of that file with php, using ?
$projects_rdf=file(http://www.freshmeat.net/backend/fm-projects.rdf;);
? - then you can do whatever you please with it. Make sure to
htmlspecialchars() it before outputting to a browser - and consider a
nl2br() while you're at it as well.
Please be warned that it's a huge download though - you may consider
only downloading the updates, available from freshmeat from another
location (I'm sure you can find it easily, I don't have the link at
hand).
