I have this script that a friend wrote for me but I have since lost contact with him and need some help.
The script is designed to take an RSS feed and generate a html file based on the content of that feed.
for example if there is a feed with a title "rss feed today" then it should create a file name rss-feed-today.php.
It seems to work but the only thing it does wrong is that it adds several tabs to the end of the file name e.g "rss-feed-today .php" and then the index page can reference it.
Please can some help with the removal of the spaces.
Regards
Mike
