   I used the above code with my id:

   but i get an error message like this:

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_match() in /home/boom/public_html/subscribers.php on line 14

   my id is valid, checked the xml file: https://feedburner.google.com/api/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?id=c0plc3tf94g80eaqavodrdsgvg

   Is it a webhosting issue maybe? My server supports PHP Version 5.2.6

   Thanx!

     I think that function probably needs to be defined elsewhere…

     function get_match($regex,$content)
     {
       preg_match($regex,$content,$matches);
       return $matches[1];
     }

   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,’https://feedburner.google.com/api/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?id=c0plc3tf94g80eaqavodrdsgvg’);
   curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
   curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,2);
   $content = curl_exec($ch);
   $subscribers = get_match(‘/circulation=”(*)”/isU’,$content);
   curl_close($ch);
