Strange RSS Feeds Problem.

[SoapTaco]

I am using the RSS importer and have for other sites with little problem. I noticed that when adding a news search feed from google or yahoo I would need to change the + in the feed url to a - simply because it would disappear after saving and cause errors.

On this latest site I am having all sorts of problems.

Certain search terms will work, and others won't. Most won't.

Here are the feeds that will work.

PHP Code:

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=&q=john-mccain&ie=UTF-8&output=rss&ned=:ePkh8BM9EwLbwQq0w4CFOFsAknAG2g
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=&q=mccain-policy&ie=UTF-8&output=rss&ned=:ePkh8BM9EwLbwQq0w4CFOFsAknAG2g 


But these won't work and their really is no difference at all other than the search term:

PHP Code:

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=&ie=UTF-8&q=health-mccain&output=rss&ned=:ePkh8BM9EwLbwQq0w4CFOFsAknAG2g
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=&ie=UTF-8&q=medicare-mccain&output=rss&ned=:ePkh8BM9EwLbwQq0w4CFOFsAknAG2g 


It is either giving me this error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/.lombard/dkillian/mccain/rss/rss_main.php on line 196

Or...It is not giving an error but is not giving me any field names to choose.

There are more... Also Yahoo News doesn't seem to be working at all. Now I have used similar feeds on other sites using multiple search terms without problem as long as I replaced the plus with dashes.

Any thoughts on this, could this be a php related problem like a version on this server (different server, DreamHost).

Please help...this is driving me nuts.

Does not work either, with the structure like the first ones.

It really seems just to be the word not the feed, I can't imagine why this would be, I will give anyone access to the site that can help.

Oh man, this isn't good. I need to use different search terms, they are going to coincide with each category.

Please help someone.

I will give $10 PayPal for a solution.
