I’m sorry but I just don’t understand why the paths can be the problem, if I can
prove that the file is included?
I’ve simplified it now, not using any paths and not using the example.php
this is the part of the template with the snippet call:
<div id="worldnews_content">[[rss]]</div>
</div>
this is the snippet:
<?php
include("id_rss.php");
?>
this is the content of the id_rss.php file (taken from the net):
<p>text from id_rss.php</p>

function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $main;

// output HTML

if (isset($rss_channel["ITEMS"])) {
if (count($rss_channel["ITEMS"]) > 0) {
for($i = 0;$i < count($rss_channel["ITEMS"]);$i++) {
if (isset($rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["LINK"])) {
print ("\n<div class=\"itemtitle\"><a target=blank href=\"newsfeed/inc2/go.php?url=" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["LINK"] . "\">" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["TITLE"] . "</a></div>");

}
print ("<div class=\"itemdescription\">" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["DESCRIPTION"] . "</div><br />"); }
} else {
print ("<b>There are no articles in this feed.</b>");
}
}
?>
and this is the output on my site:
<div id="worldnews_content"><p>text from id_rss.php</p>
</div>
so, there’s proof that id_rss.php
is included correctly, otherwise there would be no "<p>text from id_rss.php</p>"
or is there something I’m not understanding on a fundamental level?
(I’m now going to put the php code from id_rss.php directly into the snippet, without including anything)
