I am trying to retrieve the latest RSS feed URL https://askubuntu.com/feeds using php scripting and while it works for every other url feed I use I do not see to be able to retrieve anything from askubuntu.com any advise why that is?

This is my php script MINUS credentials :-)

<?php

$conn = new mysqli($host, $username, $password, $dbname);
if ($conn->connect_error) 
 die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
 

 $newsoutput = new SimpleXMLElement($rss, LIBXML_NOCDATA, true);
 $newsoutput = json_decode(json_encode($newsoutput), TRUE);

 foreach ($newsoutput['channel']['item'] as $item) 
 $link = $conn->real_escape_string($item['link']);
 $title = $conn->real_escape_string($item['title']);
 $summary = $conn->real_escape_string($item['description']);

 if( isset( $item['pubDate'] ) )
 $listed = $conn->real_escape_string($item['pubDate']);
 else 
 $listed = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
 


 $construct = "SELECT * FROM SEARCH_NEWS WHERE subject = '$title'";
 $result = $conn->query($construct);

 if ($result->num_rows > 0 )
 else 
 $insert_sql = "INSERT INTO SEARCH_NEWS (link, subject, summary, listed)
 VALUES ('$link', '$title', '$summary', '$listed')";

 if ($conn->query($insert_sql) === TRUE) 
 else 
 echo "Error: " . $insert_sql . "n" . $conn->error;
 
 
 $count++;
 if($count==$max) break;
 
echo "Completed - $rssn";
?>

As I mentioned it works fine with other URLs example...

https://insights.ubuntu.com/feed

I really appreciate any help.

Many Thanks
