How to make it read RSS?

+ +

First, we need to load the RSS :

+ +

$rss = SRSS::read('http://exemple.com/rss.xml');
+

+ +

Easy, right? Then you can extract general informations :

+ +

echo $rss->title; // will display blog title
+

+ +

Then, you can take care of articles. You can select a precise article :

+ +

$article1 = $rss->getItem(1); // or $rss->getFirst();
+

+ +

Or looping them :

+ +

foreach($rss as $article)
+{
+    echo '<a href="'.$article->link.'">'. SRSSTools::formatDate('d/m/y', $item->pubDate).' '.$item->title.'';
+}
+

+ +

If you like arrays, you can transform the RSS into an array :

+ +

$rssArray = $rss->toArray();
+

+ +

You can also save it into your server with :

+ +

$rss->save('/www/rss/rss.xml'); // example
+

+ +

How to make it create RSS?

+ +

First, we need to initialize the RSS :

+ +

$rss = SRSS::create();
+

+ +

Easy, right? Then you can add general informations :

+ +

$rss->title = 'My Awesome Blog';
+$rss->link = 'http://shikiryu.com/devblog/';
+$rss->description = 'is awesome';
+

+ +

Those 3 are mandatory to validate your RSS, other options can be added. +Then, you can add articles. Let's imagine $content contains an array from your database.

+ +

foreach($content as $item){
+    $rssitem= new SRSSItem; // we create an item
+    $rssitem->title = $item["title"]; // adding title (option)
+    $rssitem->link = $item['link']; // adding link (option)
+    $rssitem->pubDate = $item["date"]; // date automatically transformed into RSS format (option)
+    $rssitem->description = $item["text"]; // adding description (mandatory)
+    $rss->addItem($rssitem); // we add the item into our RSS
+}
+

+ +

There are 2 functions to add item. +The first one will add items in the order you enter them, from top to bottom.

+ +

$rss->addItem($item);
+

+ +

The other one does the opposite and add the next item in top of your RSS

+ +

$rss->addItemBefore($item);
+
