mazman13 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I have some data I want to turn into an rss feed. What's the best way to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genericnumber1 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Is it in a database (or flat file)? if so, simplexml is easy to use to make an rss feed, or you could use one of the many feed creator libraries out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazman13 Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Its in a database. So I do need a program to make the feed? Will the feed update when the database updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genericnumber1 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yes, if you write the script to get the data from the database it will update when the database updates. Most feed implementations should use some type of server-side caching since a lot of feed readers check for updates quite often (but that's advanced and not required).
