Thanks to your firsts tuts about modx I plucked up the courage to start diving in this fabulous cms. I know the basics of PHP programming (barely should I say) and decided to make my own snippets. So, one of the first places where I sought information, has been in you blog. I told you I wasn't any near to a PHP Guru. I didn't even know how to handle objects in php and all that stuff... I learned about definig a class which contains the methods, etc, and put this class in a file which I include in my snippet Then my snippet just handles the parameters and executes any needed function which resides in an external file which is called using include_once and didn't need the condition to check if function exist... just another way........ kind regards abner Magic Creations Thanks for the tut Mary!

I guess it's a typo as the parser finds an error in Error: file_get_contents(http://codingpad.maryspad.com/feed/<code clas) and the line should be: file_get_contents('http://codingpad.maryspad.com/feed/') cheers Abner Hi Arthur,Iguess you already solved this or found a workaround.
I guess it’s a typo as the parser finds an error in
Error: file_get_contents(http://codingpad.maryspad.com/feed/<code clas)
and the line should be:
file_get_contents(‘http://codingpad.maryspad.com/feed/‘)

function fetchFeed($feed_url, $limit = 10)
