A PHP class for parsing RSS newsfeeds (and 'atom' feeds)
MagpieRSS provides an XML-based (expat) RSS parser in PHP.
MagpieRSS is compatible with RSS 0.9 through RSS 1.0. Also parses RSS 1.0's modules, RSS 2.0, and Atom. (with a few exceptions)
MagpieRSS requires a recent PHP 4+ (developed with 4.2.0) with XML (expat) support.
Magpie consists of 4 files (rssfetch.inc, rssparser.inc, rsscache.inc, and rssutils.inc), and the directory extlib (which contains a modified version of the Snoopy HTTP client)
Copy these 5 resources to a directory named ‘magpierss’ in the same directory as your PHP script.
At the top of your script add the following line:
require_once('magpierss/rss_fetch.inc');
Now you can use the fetch_rss() method:
$rss = fetch_rss($url);
Done.
