RSS Feed - RMB Scripting

This will be a continuation of: http://rmb-scripting.com/tutorials.php?tutorial&tid=21

Now 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:




<?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!
