Generate 3 characters salt strings: // Salt Generator function generate_salt() { // Declare $salt $salt = ''; // And create it with random chars for ($i =...

First of all you need the Simplepie library. You only need the simplepie.inc file included in the archive. My example extracts 5 items from a recipe blog: <div class="block"> <h2>Latest Culinary Recipes</h2> <div class="content"> <?php $feed = new SimplePie('http://www.wordpress-site.com/feed');?> <ul> <?php foreach ($feed->get_items(0, 5) as $item): ?> <li>&raquo; <a href="<?php print $item->get_permalink();?>"><?php print substr(($item->get_title()),0,23);?> [...]</a></li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> </div>...
