Folks, A quick opinion poll: I'm looking to write an RSS Aggregator. None of the PHP-based aggregators out there do exactly what I like, but it wouldn't be difficult at all to homebrew one. However, I don't feel like writing my own parser. I've looked at Magpie and Onyx, but haven't yet tested either. If any of you out there use an RSS...

Or, how would I avoid getting two warnings in: if (!($fp =...
