RSS Feed
This will be a continuation of: http://rmb-scripting.com/tutorials.php?tutorial&tid=21Now first off, create a new file and anme it rss.php or what ever you want.
When you are finished open it up and type up something like the following:
PHP Code
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
<?php
header('Content-type: text/xml'); //change file type to XML
include("db.php"); //get config
?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Feed Name</title>
<description>Feed Descriptiondescription>
<link>http://yoursite.com</link>
<?
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM entries ORDER BY id DESC"); //get the information
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){ //repeat the info
?>
<item>
<title><?=$row['title']; //echo the title
?></title>
<description><?=$row[short]; //echo the content
?></description>
<author>SiteName submissions@yoursite.com</author>
<link>http://yoursite.com/index.php?id=<?=$row['id']; //another link to the article
?></link>
<guid>http://yoursite.com/#<?=$row[id];// Quick Link
?></guid>
</item>
<?
} //end the while
?>
</channel>
</rss>
Be sure to change all your variables and upon checking it with W3C Feed Validator it is valid.
For a live example you can see mine at:
http://hrwp.exofire.net/hrwp_new/rss.php
Now you have to edit your .htaccess file =P
Please add the code below so that instead of rss.php you could use news.xml or something else.
Code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*).xml$ rss.php
You can have anything with the extension of .xml which will link up to your news rss file!
