I just upgraded to PHP 5.
Feedlist immediately broke.
The error was:
Warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-includes/rss.php on line 440
Seems to be a bug in PHP 5.2 and 5.3 referenced here:
You may want to fix this as PHP 4 will no longer be supported from Aug 2008.

Stuart

Little update on this.
The above problem is fixed if you ask your host to install cURL support on your PHP 5 install.
It seems it tends to be on PHP 4 installs, but not on the standard PHP 5 install.
When my hosts added this, feedlist worked fine again without any modifications.

Spoke too soon on this one.
It seems its an endemic problem with wordpress that is simply exacerbated by a switch to PHP 5.
As it cropped up in another blog.
My host had a search around and found the real solution on this thread here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/120549?replies=8
Nickel kindly volunteered the following solution in that thread that worked for me on all my blogs when I implemented it.
Go to /home/yoursite/public_html/wp-includes/rss.php
On line 440 (of rss.php), change this:
if ( isset($rss) and $rss ) {
to this:
if ( isset($rss) && (is_object($rss) ||(is_string($rss) && $rss=unserialize($rss))) ) {
ie It would then look like this in the code:
//if ( isset($rss) and $rss ) {
if ( isset($rss) && (is_object($rss) ||(is_string($rss) && $rss=unserialize($rss))) ) {
That worked great.

Ok, i can confirm that this fix looks good. It has been implemented on several sites and it works in each case.

thanks everyone for identifying the problem and finding a solution to it.
I will include a patched version of rss.php in the feedList release so that folks who experience this problem can apply the fix if necessary.
Cheers,
Bill

I haven't tried any of the above remedies yet. I have the same problem. The blog below should show 2 x RSS feeds one is ok the other isn't. Does this suggest a different problem.
Warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in
/home/ppppppppp/public_html/toolbox/NewsB/wp-includes/rss.php on line 440
I have around 10 similar feeds all created from same data and all just created in the last few days with Worpress v 2.6.2
some seem OK and some give the above error message.
This code is already inserted in my installation
//if ( isset($rss) and $rss ) {
if ( isset($rss) && (is_object($rss) ||(is_string($rss) && $rss=unserialize($rss))) ) { $rss->from_cache = 1;
if ( MAGPIE_DEBUG > 1) {
http://toolbox.best-one.info/NewsB/
This blog has 2 feeds - 1 feed gets the message and the other doesn't. I don't understand too much about the files but I loaded rss.php into Excel and line 440 appeared to be checking for a cache file
Any help / ideas appreciated

I've just upgraded to wordpress 2.7 - I've found that the bug fix mentioned above and in

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/120549?replies=8
has had to be applied to every update of wordpress for quite a while. IT has worked every time before. However this time the above fix doesn't work and all I get is the RSS feed header as the widget title and no items. Oddly enough the RSS feed in question is coming from another wordpress blog !

Encountered the same problem and tried to apply the fix.
I found out that you need to edit the rss.php in the wp-includes folder.
There is another one in /root. No use editing this one.
So edit -> wp-includes/rss.php
A few other funny things i encountered (without this fix)
1) the first feed gets displayed correctly. A 2nd does not
2) the error sometimes appears, and sometimes it works.
This has something to do with the caching of rss feeds i guess.
3) the refresh speed has increased dramatically. The page loads super fast now....
