There are several potential problems with trying to use include_once (same
issues as include()) when trying to retrieve a resource by URL:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php

Try file_get_contents instead, as in the below example:
<?php file_get_contents("http://www.jennysjunket.com/magpierss/rss_fetch.inc
");?>

And if that's not enabled on your server, try using CURL as outlined in this
tutorial:
