BUT.. here's my best guess. the colon ":" character is found on the same key as the semi-colon ";" character. I would guess that you may have closed/ended one of your lines with the colon instead of a semi-colon (something I've done myself). A simple slip of the shift key can drive you mad. Take a look at the end of line 4 or 5 in feed_test.php to make sure you ended your lines with a semi-colon. @Phil

I've installed SimplePie.inc correctly, stumped! This is exactly what I was after although I’m new to PHP and I’m getting

“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /homepages/37/d302821836/htdocs/feed_test.php on line 5″

when I try to run the script. I’ve installed SimplePie.inc correctly, stumped!

Very glad you found it useful. I had a quick look through the API and don't see any built-in way of reversing the order. Here's a thought: Split the code into two loops. 1. grab the feed 2. Loop through extracting the Video ID and placing each one into a new array. 3. Reverse the new array 4. loop through the new array and build each link. @Freshmint Design

Do you know if theres any way to reverse the item order? Great Script… a lifesaver actually… Do you know if theres any way to reverse the item order?
