Add RSS feeds to your Web site using MagpieRSS    Friday, May 27 2005 @ 04:27 AM EDT Contributed by: glosser Linux.com teaches how to add RSS feeds to your website....hmmm...:) Syndication of material from other sites is a good way to get fresh content on your site. As visitors arrive at your site they can see a teaser for the syndicated content and a link to the publisher. If they are interested in an item they can follow the link to the original location. You can add syndicated content to your site using the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) protocol and a bit of PHP code in the form of an application called MagpieRSS. Here's how. MagpieRSS is an RSS parser written in PHP. It supports RSS 0.9 and 1.0, with some RSS 2.0 support. MagpieRSS is a simple object-oriented backend which includes automatic caching of parsed RSS to reduce load on external Web sites. To use MagpieRSS on your Web site you will need PHP 4.2.0 (or greater) with XML (expat) support or PHP5 with libxml2 support. Download MagpieRSS. Extract the four main files (rss_fetch.inc, rss_parser.inc, rss_cache.inc, and rss_utils.inc) and the directory extlib and copy them to a directory named magpierss in the document root (where your web pages are stored) on your Web server. Next, decide where the syndicated content will go on your site. If you want the content to appear on your front page then most likely you need to edit index.php. If you only have an index.html (not .php) then rename it to index.php as now you are adding some PHP code to it. Full tutorial   [ Views: 1617 ]
