split() method deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0, failing rss_parse.inc

[rjs-dux]

I just resolved an issue which was totally breaking my RSS reader page:
the split() method is deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0 (https://www.php.net/manual/ro/function.split.php#:~:text=split()%20is%20deprecated%20as,of%20the%20regular%20expression%20engine.); which produces an error in the file 'rss_parse.inc' (which would show up in the browser console as a generic 500 error when trying to read a specific RSS feed - although the error_log file stored on the server would contain the detailed error description).
the solution is to just replace:
list($ns, $el) = split( ':', $element, 2);
with
list($ns, $el) = explode( ':', $element, 2);

EDIT: oops, just saw that the file was edited years ago in this repo on git; I made the comment in reference to the project archive I checked on sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/magpierss/ - perhaps you want to update it there as well
