[PHP] Parsing RSS
Is there something already created to open an rss file, parse it, and include() the useful stuff into an html file? Not all my students have an rss reader. http://jtjohnston.ca/jtjohnston.rss jt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Yep. The PEAR XML_RSS class.
for example:
$feed = 'foo.rss';
$rss = new XML_RSS($feed);
$rss-parse();
foreach ($rss-getItems() as $item) {
// output rss
}

RSS is just XML. Use SimpleXML to map it to a PHP object and just print
out whatever you want from it directly.
eg.
?php
$rss = simplexml_load_file('http://jtjohnston.ca/jtjohnston.rss');
$channel = $rss-channel;
echo EOB
img src={$channel-image-url} style=float: right;/
h1{$channel-title}/h1
h2{$channel-description}/h2
EOB;
foreach($channel-item as $item) {
echo EOB
h3a href={$item-link}{$item-title}/a ({$item-pubDate})/h3
{$item-description}
br clear=left /
hr /
EOB;
}
?
Very ugly HTML markup there, of course, but add a bit of CSS and make it
prettier.

I've gotten some excellent responses. Thanks! Anything I can implement in PHP 4 - until i get IT to update to PHP 5? John Dave Goodchild wrote: Yep. The PEAR XML_RSS class.

Thanks. P.S. excellent interview with Leo Laporte!
http://www.twit.tv/floss12
Your interview made me think of Cathedrals Bazaars and the notion of
free riders.
I've been much of a php free rider myself, but try to find ways to give
back, usually through phpmyadmin.net
Thanks to everyone who give their time, and responses to my queries!

Richard, Found this: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2263.html Real small and works in PHP4. Time for a little CSS tweaking ;) and it will look great!
