Adding examples where MagpieRSS is being used would be helpful!
One example is Feed on feeds, which uses MagpieRSS to handle RSS feeds and then inserts them into a database. I use it everyday and find it very useful. http://feedonfeeds.com/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/feedonfeeds/
Good howto! However, the syntax of the echo command seems to be a bit incorrect. When to use quotation marks and when single quotes? The example didn't work for me until I changed this:
echo "<p><a href="$href">$title</a><br>";
to the following:
echo '<p><a href="$href">';echo "$title";echo '</a><br>';
I also encountered this, but the polished solution would be to escape the quotation character so it's echoed correctly:
echo "<p><a href="$href">$title</a><br>";
to
echo "<p><a href=\"$href\">$title</a><br>";
The howto is helpful, and so is Wildeh's input!

I have done everything on this tutorial, but when I try to include the line $rss = fetch_rss("http://www.rssmix.com/u/11815366/rss.xml"); it says "undefined funciton fetch_rss" so I was unsure on if there was a way to fix this? I am familiar with HTML and CSS, but new to PHP so any help would be appreciated!
