[phpXML] My changes to xml.php -and- an RSS/RDF parser example

[<tom...@di...>]

Hello all,

===================================================
My changes to "xml.php"

Near line 125
//    var $entities = array ( "&" => "&amp;", "<" => "&lt;", ">" => 
"&gt;","'" => "&apos", '"' => "&quot;" );
//  == Error: in the val for "'" the semicolon is missing in "&apos"
//  Also tried alternates of &rsquo; and &lsquo; (for "&apos;") but no help
//  DANGER  The substitutions for ' and " have been removed  ==  by TJH  ===	
     var $entities = array ( "&" => "&amp;", "<" => "&lt;", ">" => "&gt;");


Near line 200
   function load_file ( $file )
   {
      // Check whether the file exists and is readable.
      // if ( file_exists($file) && is_readable($file) )  // Does not work 
for remote files
      if ( $file )	// === TJH === allows me to read remote files (i.e. via 
http:// request)
      // is there a better way to do this for remote files ???????


===================================================
My first attempt -- a RSS/RDF parser

Attached is for parsing and rendering RSS/RDF files -- I got it working but 
I'd appreciate comments on the coding - if feels like a real kludge but I 
see no other way to do it.

Your comments on the coding will be appreciated.

===================================================


Many thanks to M.M. for phpXML!

Sincerely,
Tom Henry
