hello Stanley,
   I always need to get the last post published. Maybe I also need to select the last by category.

Hello Stanley.
Thank you!
I saw other similar request where you answered the same "use simple pie" and I try.
I got something using simplepie_1.3.1.mini.php and simplepie_1.3.1.compiled.php.
I also found a script (maybe yours... sos) In any case the script is not working fine since it does not update, When I enter a new post I still get the old one.
I have managed to have it fully working with last post displayed but adding some lines at the beginning to clean the cache but I'm not sure that this approach is correct.

here is the script:
<code>
<?php
 
require 'simplepie_1.3.1.compiled.php';

// clean cache
    define('PATH', 'cache/');
    
    function destroy($dir) {
        $mydir = opendir($dir);
        while(false !== ($file = readdir($mydir))) {
            if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
                chmod($dir.$file, 0777);
                if(is_dir($dir.$file)) {
                    chdir('.');
                    destroy($dir.$file.'/');
                    rmdir($dir.$file) or DIE("couldn't delete $dir$file<br />");
                }
                else
                    unlink($dir.$file) or DIE("couldn't delete $dir$file<br />");
            }
        }
        closedir($mydir);
    }
    destroy(PATH);
// end clean cache
 
//$url = 'http://www.rifugiocolombe.it/flatpress/rss.php';
$url = 'http://www.rifugiocolombe.it/flatpress/?x=feed:rss2&';
 
$feed = new SimplePie();
$feed->set_feed_url($url);
$feed->init();
 
// default starting item
$start = 0;
 
// default number of items to display. 0 = all
$length = 1;

// default partial output
$pout = 70;
 
// if single item, set start to item number and length to 1
if(isset($_GET['item']))
{
        $start = $_GET['item'];
        $length = 1;
}
 
// set item link to script uri
$link = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
 
// loop through items
foreach($feed->get_items($start,$length) as $key=>$item)
{
 
        // set query string to item number
        $queryString = '?item=' . $key;
 
        // if we're displaying a single item, set item link to itself and set query string to nothing
        if(isset($_GET['item']))
        {
                $link = $item->get_link();
                $queryString = '';       
        }
 
        // display item title and date   
//        echo '<a href="' . $link . $queryString . '">' . $item->get_title() . '</a>';
        echo $item->get_title();
        echo ' <br><small>' . $item->get_date() . '</small><br>';
    echo ' <small>' . substr($item->get_content(), 0, $pout) . '...</small><br>';
 
        // if single item, display content
        if(isset($_GET['item']))
        {
                echo ' <small>'.$item->get_content().'</small><br>';
        }
        echo '<br>';
}
 
?>

I'll try also the code you proposed.

By the way, looking quickly into simplepie_1.3.1.......php I have notices a couple of variables that seems to be aimed at management of cache duration, one is set to 1 minute and the other to 7 days... any hint?

ciao

It looks fine for me. Try clearing your cache.
It's not working with my feed (http://mahtava.allalla.com/blogs/main/?x=feed:rss2&).
