Great little parser. It has saved me a lot of work and headaches as this one handles the atom feeds as well (gmail/blogger etc.) in contrast to most others. I'm using it from my private page to view my feeds. I hope you don't mind that I build a little on it. I have adjusted it a little to use cURL instead of fopen. This in turn allowed me to add some more code to view authenticated pages (gmail in my case)simply by supplying it with a url like: https://gmailusername:password@gmail.google.com.... The only other thing I changed was moving the $showSummary bolean to the parseFeed function as for some reason I didn't get summaries with the original setup. If you are interested I'll be happy to send you the changed code. Thanks and good luck Jan
