In this sample file I will show the PHP code used to fetch the feeds, along with the actual output.
To liven up the look, you can put your output inside a table, or use stylesheets with the html templates
to improve the look of the feeds.

Version 0.4.3 added the ability to start showing feeds from a specified offset. As opposed to always showing feeds from the first, you can specify to start at a higher feed. Usage is shown below in the second example.

The prototype for the function to show the feeds is:
function rss_parser(string $url [, int $numtoshow = 10 [,string $html = "" [, bool $update = FALSE [, int $offset = 1]]]])
