How do you get RSS feeds to HTML? I know how it's done, but I need a script that can do this. I know there are free ones out there, because it's not that complex. Where's a good free RSS to HTML script for free?
 
Since RSS is XML-based, I think that using XSLT (XSL transformatgion) with a stylesheet that parses the feed should work pretty well to generate valid XHTML.
No need for PHP or any other programing language.
 
u mass to have easy parser, this is one to google news, U mass change Keyword

Code:
<?php
set_time_limit(0);

$file = "http://news.google.com/news?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2005-22,GGLG:en&q=KEYWORD&output=rss";

$rss_channel = array();
$currently_writing = "";
$main = "";
$item_counter = 0;

function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
   	global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $main;
   	switch($name) {
   		case "RSS":
   		case "RDF:RDF":
   		case "ITEMS":
   			$currently_writing = "";
   			break;
   		case "CHANNEL":
   			$main = "CHANNEL";
   			break;
   		case "IMAGE":
   			$main = "IMAGE";
   			$rss_channel["IMAGE"] = array();
   			break;
   		case "ITEM":
   			$main = "ITEMS";
   			break;
   		default:
   			$currently_writing = $name;
   			break;
   	}
}

function endElement($parser, $name) {
   	global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $item_counter;
   	$currently_writing = "";
   	if ($name == "ITEM") {
   		$item_counter++;
   	}
}

function characterData($parser, $data) {
	global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $main, $item_counter;
	if ($currently_writing != "") {
		switch($main) {
			case "CHANNEL":
				if (isset($rss_channel[$currently_writing])) {
					$rss_channel[$currently_writing] .= $data;
				} else {
					$rss_channel[$currently_writing] = $data;
				}
				break;
			case "IMAGE":
				if (isset($rss_channel[$main][$currently_writing])) {
					$rss_channel[$main][$currently_writing] .= $data;
				} else {
					$rss_channel[$main][$currently_writing] = $data;
				}
				break;
			case "ITEMS":
				if (isset($rss_channel[$main][$item_counter][$currently_writing])) {
					$rss_channel[$main][$item_counter][$currently_writing] .= $data;
				} else {
					$rss_channel[$main][$item_counter][$currently_writing] = $data;
				}
				break;
		}
	}
}

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");
if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r"))) {
	die("could not open XML input");
}

while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
	if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) {
		die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
					xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
					xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
	}
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);

// output HTML
// print ("<div class=\"channelname\">" . $rss_channel["TITLE"] . "</div>"); 

if (isset($rss_channel["ITEMS"])) {
	if (count($rss_channel["ITEMS"]) > 0) {
		for($i = 0;$i < count($rss_channel["ITEMS"]);$i++) {
			if (isset($rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["LINK"])) {
			print ("\n<div class=\"itemtitle\"><a href=\"" . "go.php?url=" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["LINK"] . "\">" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["TITLE"] . "</a></div>");
			} else {
			print ("\n<div class=\"itemtitle\">" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["TITLE"] . "</div>");
			}
			 print ("<div class=\"itemdescription\">" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["DESCRIPTION"] . "</div><br />"); 		}
	} else {
		print ("<b>There are no articles in this feed.</b>");
	}
}
