I copied some RSS simplepie PHP code and have used it to display PHP RSS feeds on my site for a long time. In the last month or so the feeds have not worked correctly, it displays the code and not the feed. You can view my site here http://www.gorillacats.com/ ……….Look in the lower right under "Todays Health News"

Below is the code I’m using. Please take a look below or go to my site and view the source code and tell me what is wrong. All that I have changed is some cache settings. From $feed->enable_cache(true); to $feed->enable_cache(false); and I changed the mode setting in my cache directory to "000" because the cache files were getting to big.

My host is hostmonster.com
Simplepie v 1.2

<?php
/********************************************************************
MULTIFEEDS TEST PAGE

Nothing too exciting here. Just a sample page that demos integrated
Multifeeds support as well as cached favicons and perhaps a few other
things.

Lots of this code is commented to help explain some of the new stuff.
Code was tested in PHP 5.2.2, but *should* also work with earlier
versions of PHP, as supported by SimplePie (PHP 4.1).

********************************************************************/

// Include the SimplePie library, and the one that handles internationalized domain names.
require_once(‘../public_html/php/simplepie.inc’);
require_once(‘../public_html/php/idna_convert.class.php’);

// Initialize some feeds for use.
$feed = new SimplePie();
$feed->enable_cache(false);
$feed->set_feed_url(array(
‘http://www.medicinenet.com/rss/dailyhealth.xml’,
‘http://health.yahoo.com/news/rss/health/’,
‘http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.xml’
));

// When we set these, we need to make sure that the handler_image.php file is also trying to read from the same cache directory that we are.
$feed->set_favicon_handler(‘./handler_image.php’);
$feed->set_image_handler(‘./handler_image.php’);

// Initialize the feed.
$feed->init();

// Make sure the page is being served with the UTF-8 headers.
$feed->handle_content_type();

// Begin the (X)HTML page.
