I would like to integrate an SSR newsfeed into my website but can't
seem to figure out how.
Has anyone got any pointers for me?

The specifics depend on the capabilities of your server. There are RSS
parsing modules available for most languages including Perl, PHP, Python
and Java[1].

[1] Think JSP and Servlets - not Applets or JavaScript (and JavaScript has
nothing to do with Java save the name)

David,

I appreciate your reply but it is exactly those kind of details that
have me confused...

You don't know the capabilities of the server you use? Consult the manual
and / or your service providers documentation.

David,

I do know what the capabilities of my webserver are and I am also
aware that I could use PHP and/or pther languages to get the feed
working but my question is how...

1. Pick a language that you have on the server
2. Search for an RSS module for it (e.g. http://a9.com/RSS%20PHP/ )
3. Download the RS feed on a timer, e.g. through cron or Windows schedular
4. Use the located RSS module to convert the RSS to HTML

- that's as close to "how" as its really possible to get until _we_ know the
capabilities of your webserver.

Done that already, it's PHP.

2. Search for an RSS module for it (e.g. http://a9.com/RSS%20PHP/ )

I've already had a look at MagpieRSS

3. Download the RS feed on a timer, e.g. through cron or Windows schedular

See, this is where I get stuck.

4. Use the located RSS module to convert the RSS to HTML

How?
This PHP stuff really trips me up..

What do you need to know?

Based on your answer I'd say..
comp.lang.php.

I am a Java programmer but found need
for a teensy weensy bit of PHP recently.

I found the folks on c.l.p to be most helpful.
