here you are using a PHP 5 function, and he said he was only using PHP 4.4.4 So this script won't work for him. foreach ($xml->source->result as $f) {

$name = '?'; $date = '?'; foreach ($f as $event) {

       if ($event['n'] == 'eventname') {
           $name = $event;
       } elseif ($event['n'] == 'eventnextoccurrencedate') {
           $date = date('D, M d Y H:i:s', strtotime($event));
       }

}

   echo "    <tr><td>{$name}</td><td>{$date}</td></tr>\n";
