Hi there,

I couldn't find a SECURITY.md in your repository and so am not sure how to best contact you privately to disclose the security issue.

Can you add a SECURITY.md file with your e-mail to your repository, so that I know who to contact? GitHub suggests that a security policy is the best way to make sure security issues are responsibly disclosed.

Once you've done that, please let me know so I can ping you the info.

Thanks!

I just resolved an issue which was totally breaking my RSS reader page:
the split() method is deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0 (https://www.php.net/manual/ro/function.split.php#:~:text=split()%20is%20deprecated%20as,of%20the%20regular%20expression%20engine.); which produces an error in the file 'rss_parse.inc' (which would show up in the browser console as a generic 500 error when trying to read a specific RSS feed - although the error_log file stored on the server would contain the detailed error description).
the solution is to just replace:
list($ns, $el) = split( ':', $element, 2);
with
list($ns, $el) = explode( ':', $element, 2);

EDIT: oops, just saw that the file was edited years ago in this repo on git; I made the comment in reference to the project archive I checked on sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/magpierss/ - perhaps you want to update it there as well

The library doesn't seems to be updated, the client "Snoopy" has already been updated but library is still using the old version. Also library doesn't seems to be fetching "https" feeds, is it http only library?

Can we have a update now?? For http it works very well.
