My fault, I should have been more specific. An RSS reader. :) I was using xmlParser-0.3 and feedParser-0.5 to display news sites. Since I've converted to PHP5, they no longer work for me.
definitely a combination of simplexml and DOM would work. You need DOM in order to determine what the name of the root node's namespace is to find RSS 1.0.
http://php.net/simplexml http://php.net/DOM
for example:
<?php
$rss = simplexml_load_file('http://www.example.com/blah.rss');
$dom = new domdocument("1.0");
$dom_rss = $dom->importnode($rss, true);
$dom_rss = $dom->appendchild($rss);
if ($dom_rss->namespaceURI == '') {
$rssversion = '1.0';
} else {
$rssversion = $rss['version'];
}
switch ($rssversion) {
case '1.0' :
case '2.0' :
if (isset($rss->channel->pubDate)) {
echo "Publication Date: " . $rss->channel->pubDate . "<br />";
} case '0.91' :
case '0.92' :
case '0.93' :
case '0.94' :
echo '<a href="';
echo $rss->channel->link;
echo '">' . $rss->channel->title . '</a><br />';
foreach ($rss->channel->item as $item) {
echo $item->title . '<br />';
echo '<a href="';
echo $item->link;
echo '">' . $item->description . '</a><br />';
}
break;
}
?>Of course, the full range RSS tags are available to you as object properties, and attributes as array access (like $rss['version'])
