RSS + XML with PHP

syntax · 14-01-2009

Hey, I need someone who is experienced with outputting RSS/XML feeds to a PHP page to help me out.

Basically it is a news feed with many articles and I want it to parse so it only shows the title and maybe a short description.

Anybody who is interested please PM me!

There's a few scripts already out there that do this as well as some useful things such as caching and whatnot.

A quick google search for php rss reader will reveal several results.

I've personally used Magpie RSS - PHP RSS Parser in the past and found it decent (hasn't been updated for a while though by the looks of it).

You could also take a look at FeedBurner as perhaps that could be of some interest too (never really looked into it)

Or if you're feeling adventurous and would like to write something yourself, have a look at some stuff in the php manual such as PHP: Introduction - Manual.
