Excellent! With a couple of minor edits (see attached) that works perfectly. Thanks so much for your help!

So we're able to put everything inside the function get_headlines() except for when we define the $open_tags and $close_tags arrays? Why is that? I tried seeing what would happen if I put them back inside the function and declared them as globals in all of the other functions, but it didn't work again. Why do those arrays need to be defined outside of the function? It's not a problem to keep them outside the function, but I'm just curious... Thanks again.
