The14thGOD Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Sorry, not sure where to post this question, this seemed like the best choice. I have made a CMS for a client and they need to be able to publish/edit press releases. The issue comes when whatever they publish in the press releases category, it needs to also update an XML file which is a RSS feed. I was not involved in the making of the site (it's a few years old) and anyone who knows anything about it is gone. So I'm looking to find out what is the best way to update this file. The 2 best options I have come up with are: 1. Anytime a new press release is made or a press release is edited, create a new XML file from the information in the database. 2. Add the new press release to the file when it is added. If a press release is edited, find out it's row number (stored by date) and use something like SimpleXML to replace the node/delete the node or something of that nature. There seems to be only 1 or 2 press releases in a given month. If anyone has any good links for the latter method can you please post them? I haven't found much on SimpleXML and manipulating of nodes. I addChild etc... Sorry I am not fluent with XML..yet.. Thanks for any and all help, Justin Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/205460-best-way-to-update-an-xml-feed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I implemented rss and atom feeds recently using the Zend library, and it was pretty darn simple. There are other libraries out there which do rss as well.
