Now if i put that code in a html file how would that page refresh with the new content when new things are posted in the forum? How do i make it so the code will change with the forum posts?

It's an XML file you can't make it into a HTML file. You could either use PHP5 to extract the data from the XML file and turn it into a HTML page. Or you could use XSLT to style your XML file.

You could also use PHP4 to parse the XML data and then integrate it to your website.
