bcamp1973 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'd like to add an RSS feed to a PHP app i'm building, but really have no idea where to start. Any tips? Tutorials you know of? Hints?

obsidian Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 RSS is so broad now, you need to narrow down what you're wanting to generate. Also, with how flexible XML is, you can do almost anything you want with the feed. I'd personally recommend you looking at something like RSS2 or RDF for your formatting. Some prefer ATOM, but you can research them and make your choice. Once you learn the syntax of the one you want, just output a header to modify the content type to text/xml, and loop over your records. That's really all there is to it.

bcamp1973 Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Sounds like it's an easier task than i thought. I just want to create a feed of simple records so users can be notified of updates and what records are updated. very similar to RSS feeds for news sites. I'm guessing RSS2 is the most ubiquitous of the three?
