Re: [Magpierss-general] Odd Feed, need help

[Alan L. <ala...@do...>]

The best way to see what magpie can pull from your feed is to run it  
through the magpie_debug.php script that comes with the code- it will  
output the data it parses in its array structure (what you wrote  
below will certainly not work).

But you have a larger problem, your feed does not validate (it lacks  
<rss>....</rss> tags) so Magpie is not going to be able to do much  
until that is fixed.

Validate, validate, validate. Then parse it.
