i’d recommend doing 775 permissions instead, 777 leaves your cache directory wide open to the world. thanks for this, great setup!

Well, every system is different, so I can’t tell you exactly what to do to fix it, but I can tell you what I had to do:

I created a cache directory in the same folder as the PHP script (in my case, this code was in functions.php from my wordpress theme, so I created the cache folder inside my theme folder), and then set the folder to 777 permissions.

After that, it just worked out of the box for me, creating the cache files without any problems. Hope that helps, and I’m sorry you’re having troubles with it.

I’m trying to get this script to work for me. and i can get it to feed out entries if i skip the caching section of the script.

These are the warnings im getting from the caching.
Warning: fopen(path/to/cache/folder) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream:
Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource

Do i have to initially set up my cache file? only folder right… i have everything set to 777 but can’t seem to figure out the rest. maybe i need to set a value in my php.ini file.

thanks for supplying this.

Awesome post! now I have to digest it somehow, I was going through the path of twitter rss -> wordpress rss syndication but missing lots of stuff.

Thanks for this! I had to add a couple more str_replace calls to clean up the XML, but other than that this worked like a charm.
