IANAL...

You don't say what's not working.

Depending on the config of your PHP install, your code might niot be
able to read directly from a web page. You can test this with:

<?php

print file('http://.....');

?>

If its a problem parsing the XML - there's a lot of code available off
the shelf for handling RSS - I've used Magpie RSS and found it easy.
