ok... as the title reads, this is probably a n00b question to most, but here goes...

I've created a script that converts an XML feed from blogger or other blog sites, and displays it using the template i have created... the only problem is... i can't figure out how to get the XML feed into an array.

simply put, I want http://www.example.com/atom.xml to be loaded into @feed.

I can do it if i save the XML feed to my server (using the open( ) function), but i don't want to do that...

hopefully i haven't offended anyone with the stupidity of this question, and I wait to hear from u all soon!

BTW: here's something else i've been working on... note: it's not on 24/7. http://frequency.hopto.org (I created the whole site... gallery and admin section too!)
