Nowadays, what with Yahoo's new Pipes service, it doesn't make as much sense. I created pipes to eliminate those ads from those feeds in about 15 seconds each. Now those feeds are available through Yahoo Pipes quite easily, to everybody. Go over there and search for "scores" and you'll find them quite easily: http://pipes.yahoo.com/search?q=scores&x=0&y=0 Actually, at the time I wrote this, doing it this way made sense.

I'm trying to put it into my site... using WordPress and a K2 mod... trying to put it into my sidebar PHP module, but I'm not having any luck. I'm thinking the paths aren't correct for my site? I tried messing around with them, but no luck. That rss-functions.php files is in wordpress/wp-includes ,but I'm not sure if it is being referenced properly. any help would be appreciated! I'm (obviously) a PHP beginner. thanks!! -Matt Thanks for this!

The "once" part means that if it's already included the file, it won't try to include it again. ABSPATH = Wordpress's variable to hold the location of the blog directory. WPINC = Wordpress's variable to hold the location of the wp-include directory, relative to the blog directory. /rss-functions.php = The name of the file we want. The dots are string concatenation operations. So we're building the location of the file and then including it, basically.

I've just been playing with parsing files so I can put the latest results on my blog. I did it without going into the wordpress code other than using an include(). can you explain the require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . ' parts? abspath is obvious, I'me sure i've seen that in the WP code, what do the dots and wpinc mean? thanks for explaining that so well.
