PHP Generate RSS Feeds
We are in a new age, content is generated on the fly and posted across the web. Many sites use an RSS feed to try and keep their users up to date with new posts and changed content. Here is a little PHP class that will generate your own RSS feeds and display them in many popular formats.
Formats Supported:
- RSS0.91, RSS1.0, RSS2.0, PIE0.1 (deprecated), MBOX, OPML, ATOM, ATOM1.0, ATOM0.3, HTML, JS
Step 1 (include the class):
-
<?php
-
// http://thedevnet.com/php/classes/php-generate-rss-feeds/
-
include ("include/feedcreator.class.php");
-
?>
Step 2 (define a channel):
-
<?php
-
//define channel
-
$rss = new UniversalFeedCreator();
-
$rss->useCached();
-
$rss->title="Personal News Site";
-
$rss->description="daily news from me";
-
$rss->link="http://mydomain.net/";
-
$rss->syndicationURL="http://mydomain.net/$PHP_SELF";
-
?>
Step 3 (add the feed items; loop through your data with this):
-
<?php
-
//channel items/entries
-
$item = new FeedItem();
-
$item->title = "some title";
-
$item->link = "http://mydomain.net/news/somelinks.html";
-
$item->description = "some description";
-
$item->source = "http://mydomain.net";
-
$item->author = "my_email@mydomain.net";
-
-
-
//optional enclosure support
-
$item->enclosure = new EnclosureItem();
-
$item->enclosure->url='http://mydomain.net/news/picture.jpg';
-
$item->enclosure->length="65905";
-
$item->enclosure->type='image/jpeg';
-
-
$rss->addItem($item);
-
?>
Step 4 (display and/or save):
-
<?php
-
// Valid outputs are RSS0.91, RSS1.0, RSS2.0, PIE0.1 (deprecated),
-
// MBOX, OPML, ATOM, ATOM1.0, ATOM0.3, HTML, JS
-
-
-
// display
-
$rss->outputFeed("ATOM1.0");
-
-
// save
-
$rss->saveFeed("ATOM1.0", "news/feed.xml");
-
?>
