Code for Fetching LJ Community Contents through RSS

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

I wrote a code for Fetching LJ content of a community. Am using RSS here. I wrote one XML Parser, It displays the entries in proper format (User can modify the code for his/her choicable format). It also displays the user name and userpic of the person who posted the entry in the community, also it counts the number of comments for that post and displays the comment count.
Also it displays the current music, current mood and the mood icon used for that entry.

This code will be helpful when someone is designing a website for a community and wants to fetch the LJ contents in the site...

I've not yet tested the code for all types of design. If anyone can test the code and find the errors and fix them, it'll be helpful for everyone...

printf("

print("

printf ("

\n"); // Make a line inbetween entries.
$title = $description = $link = $insideitem = $mood = $music = $comment = false;
}

}

// Now to the parsing itself. Starts by creating it:

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();

// Then setup the handlers:

xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");

// Open the actual datafile:

$fp = fopen($backend, "r");

// Run through it line by line and parse:

while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))
or die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}

// Close the datafile

fclose($fp);

// Free any memmory used

xml_parser_free($xml_parser);

?>

But in this code the problem is that it doesn't recognise LJ-cut and doesn't do caching.

If anyone modifies the code and make it efficient then it'll be helpful :)
