why is this problem? how can i fix? :/

That is what programming is all about – learning to solve your own problems, it’s not about using scripts in the wild and running off to your mummy when you stump your toe.

If you can’t solve this simple error on your own, then how on earth do you expect to make it in the real world?

Someone give him a hanky, please…

Please… Lets see you do it without SimpleXml… Lets see you do it how real programmers do it and that is with the DOM.

SimpleXml is for… well, simple people really, but to use the DOM takes more brain power – do you have that?!

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: simplexmlelement in /home/website_name/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 7

I used phpinfo() and allow_url_fopen is set to On.

I make a terrible PHP programmer =p. Can anyone give an example of a fix? Someone mentioned using curl or making sure simpleXml is loaded.

I was trying to use w3schools ajax-rss feed tutorial and that failed giving me
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/website_name/public_html/getrss.php on line 21. I know my server says it is running PHP 5.2.9
