Hi Pinyo,

I can recommend very highly the PEAR RSS parser at 
http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=22.  It's a snap to use and 
I've had great results.

I use it on my website, http://www.gadhra.com, to get RSS feeds from 
some sites I like.  Here's how I use it:

<?php
   /*  Here's a little function to iterate through the channel array  */
    function parse_feed($arr,$num) {
      $str = "<ul>";
      for ($i=0;$i<$num;$i++) {
        $str .= "<li><a href=\\"".$arr[$i]['link']."\\" 
target=\\"".$arr[$i]['title']."\\">".$arr[$i]['title']."</a></li>";
      }
      $str .= "</ul>";
      return $str;
    }

    /*  create a new object from the XML_RSS class and parse that sucker */
    $rss =& new XML_RSS("http://enter_rss_feed_here");
    $rss->parse();
   $channels = $rss->getChannelInfo();

  /*  Now, display the feed using the parse_feed function */
?>
<html>
<body>
<a href="<?=$channels['link']; ?>" target="<?=$channels['title']; 
?>"><?=$channels['title']; ?></a>
<?= parse_feed($rss->getItems(),3); ?>
</body>
</html>


That's all there is to it!
