This file describes the usage of the following class: * AbsRssReader20 * class AbsRssReader20 This class can be used to read an RSS 2.0 xml feed document. * Protected Properties * $_doc * $_loaded * Public Methods * Load( $filePath ) * GetChannelTags() * GetItems( $maxLimit = 0 ) * GetAll() * final public function Load( $filePath ) Loads the specified xml feed and assigns the content to the $_doc variable. It can reside either locally or remotely. You should cache it if your blog doesn't get updated more than once per day. * Example: <?php include_once "class.AbsRssReader20.php"; $xml = new AbsRssReader20(); $xml->Load('xml/rss_2.xml'); // feed stored on your host $xml->Load('http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml'); // feed located on other host ?> * final public function GetChannelTags() This function selects from the $_doc variable the channel tags and returns the result as an associated array. * Example: <?php # No cache headers header("Expires: Mon, 05 June 2001 05:06:07 GMT"); header("Last-Modified: ".gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s")." GMT"); header('Cache-Control: pre-check=0, post-check=0, max-age=0'); header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); header("Pragma: no-cache"); include_once "class.AbsRssReader20.php"; $xml = new AbsRssReader20(); $xml->Load('xml/rss_2.xml'); // Get Channel Tags $chTags = $xml->GetChannelTags(); if (is_array($chTags) and count($chTags)>0) { echo '<pre>'; echo '<strong>Get Channel Tags</strong><hr size="1" />'; print_r($chTags); echo '</pre>'; } ?> Running the code above, the result should be the following array: <?php Array ( [title] => Post 3 [link] => http://blog-url-here/post.php?pid=9 [description] => Posts's short description goes here [pubDate] => Sun, 10 Apr 2009 02:01:52 GMT [generator] => Blog Name Here [language] => en-us [dc:publisher] => Costin Trifan [copyright] => Copyright (c) 2008 Costin Trifan. All rights reserved. blah blah.. [slash:comments] => 200 [comments] => http://blog-name-here/post.php?pid=9#comments [category] => SOFTWARE ) ?> * final public function GetItems( $maxLimit = 0 ) This function selects from the $_doc variable all the entries found in the <item> tags and returns them as an associated array unless a max limit is specified. * Example: <?php # No cache headers header("Expires: Mon, 05 June 2001 05:06:07 GMT"); header("Last-Modified: ".gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s")." GMT"); header('Cache-Control: pre-check=0, post-check=0, max-age=0'); header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); header("Pragma: no-cache"); include_once "class.AbsRssReader20.php"; $xml = new AbsRssReader20(); $xml->Load('xml/rss_2.xml'); // Get Items $chItems = $xml->GetItems(); if (is_array($chItems) and count($chItems)>0) { echo '<pre>'; echo '<strong>Get Items</strong><hr size="1" />'; print_r($chItems); echo '</pre>'; } ?> will output something like this: <?php Array ( [item_0] => Array ( [title] => Post 1 [link] => http://blog-url-here/post.php?pid=11 [description] => Posts's short description goes here [slash:comments] => 40 [comments] => http://blog-name-here/post.php?pid=11#comments [pubDate] => Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:01:52 GMT [category] => PHP ) [item_1] => Array ( [title] => Post 2 [link] => http://blog-url-here/post.php?pid=10 [description] => Posts's short description goes here [slash:comments] => 120 [comments] => http://blog-name-here/post.php?pid=10#comments [pubDate] => Sun, 11 Apr 2009 02:01:52 GMT [category] => WEB ) [item_2] => Array ( [title] => Post 3 [link] => http://blog-url-here/post.php?pid=9 [description] => Posts's short description goes here [slash:comments] => 200 [comments] => http://blog-name-here/post.php?pid=9#comments [pubDate] => Sun, 10 Apr 2009 02:01:52 GMT [category] => SOFTWARE ) ) ?> To retrieve only a limit number of results you should specify that number, like this: <?php // Get only the first 2 entries $entries = $xml->GetItems( 2 ); ?> * final public function GetAll() This function selects everything from the $_doc variable and returns the result as an associated array. * Example: <?php # No cache headers header("Expires: Mon, 05 June 2001 05:06:07 GMT"); header("Last-Modified: ".gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s")."
