Make this script work in DreamHost(Doesn't allow fopen)

My host, dreamhost doesn't allow the usage of fopen, so it probably requires CURL to make this script work, please make it work in dreamhost! <?php set_time_limit(0); $file = "[login to view URL];ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=blue+shoes&output=rss"; $rss_channel = array(); $currently_writing = ""; $main = ""; $item_counter = 0; function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) { global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $main; switch($name) { case "RSS": case "RDF:RDF": case "ITEMS": $currently_writing = ""; break; case "CHANNEL": $main = "CHANNEL"; break; case "IMAGE": $main = "IMAGE"; $rss_channel["IMAGE"] = array(); break; case "ITEM": $main = "ITEMS"; break; default: $currently_writing = $name; break; } } function endElement($parser, $name) { global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $item_counter; $currently_writing = ""; if ($name == "ITEM") { $item_counter++; } } function characterData($parser, $data) { global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $main, $item_counter; if ($currently_writing != "") { switch($main) { case "CHANNEL": if (isset($rss_channel[$currently_writing])) { $rss_channel[$currently_writing] .= $data; } else { $rss_channel[$currently_writing] = $data; } break; case "IMAGE": if (isset($rss_channel[$main][$currently_writing])) { $rss_channel[$main][$currently_writing] .= $data; } else { $rss_channel[$main][$currently_writing] = $data; } break; case "ITEMS": if (isset($rss_channel[$main][$item_counter][$currently_writing])) { $rss_channel[$main][$item_counter][$currently_writing] .= $data; } else { $rss_channel[$main][$item_counter][$currently_writing] = $data; } break; } } } $xml_parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement"); xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData"); if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r"))) { die("could not open XML input"); } while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) { if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) { die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d", xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)), xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser))); } } xml_parser_free($xml_parser); // output HTML //print ("" . $rss_channel["TITLE"] .
