Reading RSS with PHP


webhead2

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

There is an RSS feed that I am trying to copy to my server.  I am trying to get the entire feed, not just updates.  The problem is when I copy it, it only contains the most recent stuff.

 

I added the feed to my Google home page and it has over 80,000 entries. 

 

$remote_url = "http://www.xvideos.com/rss/rss.xml";

$handle = file_get_contents($remote_url);
$f=@fopen("cache/xvideo_rss.xml","w+");
fwrite($f,$handle);

 

Is there a way that PHP can read in the entire feed?

 

Is there a way to download the feed and save to a file via web browser?  (not view)

 

thanks!

Are you closing the with fclose ?

 

As far as I can tell it should. You may want to use curl to fetch the feed as that tends to be quicker and possible more reliable.

 

Also a note, for anyone trying to help, the url goes to pr0n, so be wary at work/school etc.

I wasn't closing the file, thanks.  I added it in, but it didn't change the output.

 

The script only grabs the latest entries. 

 

I suppose the question is, how do I access the site's rss in its entirety?

 

I tested by adding the feed to google and it has over 80,000 entries...
