Default cPanel 10 / php directory for magpieRSS install?

Hey all....

I have a vision in my mind for my site, I have not been able to find another site doing what I want to do or I would refrence it and ask (or just reverse engineer that site)

Here's what I want to do...
On my /index.htm page of neo1seo.com where I have the article about Blackhat SEO I want to (in place of the article) have MagpieRss run the article titles and a snipit from each article from several other SEO experts. (does that make sense?)

My problem....
I don't know backend / server side includes nearly well enough for this to be easy!

version of the Snoopy HTTP client)

Copy these 5 resources to a directory named 'magpierss' in the same
directory as your PHP script.

At the top of your script add the following line:

require_once('magpierss/rss_fetch.inc');

Now you can use the fetch_rss() method:

$rss = fetch_rss($url);

Done. That's it. See README for more details on using MagpieRSS.
Now what I'm hoping is that someone on this forum has experience with the server side of cPanel 10 (since that's what I'm using) I don't want to get in there and start messing with stuff and mess up my whole site!) This is where I'm stuck... Copy these 5 resources to a directory named 'magpierss' in the same
directory as your PHP script.
Where is my PHP script? the script from my cgi bin? the script for my wordpress? or do I need to get into my WHM system? (I host all of my own sites)
I hope I didn't confuse more than necessary :P
Thanks in advance!

Default update

Ok... Here's just a quick update...

my site now has the rss feed in it... However it's not the feed that I want. I only want the 5 newest from Aaron Wall and I want to be able to include other authors as well (Danny Sullivan, Bruce Clay, etc..) This was VERY simple... But it's javascript so it basically defeats the purpose of having quality content with keywords on my site, because the SE's won't read the javascript. How can I get the same outcome that I have now using PHP?
Thanks in advance
