URGENT: using cURL to get RSS Feed fails - think I am really close... help!

[adentone]

I am creating this feature for a client of mine that needs it working by tomorrow!

 

I am trying to use cURL to grab the RSS feed here:

http://blogs.menshealth.com/fitness-pros/feed

 

But all I get back is an empty string...

Please help - I've been searching Google & this forum but haven't found anything that I can use that fixes this issue.

 

$feed = getRssData();
echo "<pre>\n";
print_r( $feed );
echo "\n</pre>\n";

function getRssData() { // returns the feed array
$requested_feed = "http://blogs.menshealth.com/fitness-pros/feed";
$ch = curl_init($requested_feed);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$rss_data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo "RSS DATA: <br />\n" . $rss_data;
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load($rss_data);
$arrFeeds = array();
foreach ($doc->getElementsByTagName('item') as $node) {
	$itemRSS = array ( 
		'title' => $node->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue,
		'desc' => $node->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->nodeValue,
		'link' => $node->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0)->nodeValue,
		'date' => $node->getElementsByTagName('pubDate')->item(0)->nodeValue
	);
	array_push($arrFeeds, $itemRSS);
}
return $arrFeeds;
}

 

You can see a live test here:

http://pro-formpt.com/get_rss.php?feed=workout

It only has a few parameters in it so I can use the same file to grab other RSS Feeds as well - but they all fail the same way.

Like this one:

http://pro-formpt.com/get_rss.php?feed=living

Which should grab the feed from here:

http://blogs.menshealth.com/mh-life/feed

 

I truly appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks!

Do I need to set some special headers or something?

 

I really need help on this ASAP.

Thank you!!!
