a beginner's question – php does not work

Start with removing the PHP tags, see also the FAQ.

thank you for such speedy reply.

Here is the code without the php tags: it still gives me the same error.

More help please, thank you.

—
include_once(ABSPATH.’wp-content/plugins/rss.php’); // path to include script
$feed = fetch_rss(‘https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml’); // specify feed url
$items = array_slice($feed->items, 0, 7); // specify first and last item

if (!empty($items)) :
foreach ($items as $item) :

<h2>
echo $item[‘title’]; </h2>
<p> echo $item[‘description’]; </p>

endforeach;
endif;

Sorry, but this won’t work. I can only help you if you somewhat understand what you’re doing (no offence meant). Simply removing the PHP tags leaves a mix of PHP and HTML.

Hello, I already tested the php code but I don’t know how to insert it into my page. Pls help.
