Author in Fetch RSS

How can I add

<?php the_author_login(); ?>

in

<?php
require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss-functions.php’);
// here’s where to insert the feed address
$rss = @fetch_rss(“http://example.com/author/&lt;?php the_author_login(); ?>/feed/”);
if ( isset($rss->items) && 0 != count($rss->items) ) {
?>

<?php
// here’s (5) where to set the number of headlines
$rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 5);
foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
?>

‘>
<?php echo wp_specialchars($item[‘title’]); ?>

<?php } ?>

<?php } ?>

Just like the bolded text

Nothing shows up. Thanks
