[TYPO3-english] Ameos - Formidable - Rss Parser - No Items to display

Hi Again

The server with TYPO3 ver 4.2.1 is running PHP5 - I can't get 
‘ameos_formidable_rss_parser’ to work here.

The server with TYPO3 ver 4.1.5 is running PHP4 - on this server 
‘ameos_formidable_rss_parser’ works fine.

Maybe is it the explanation…

Regards
Jogvan
