How to Display RSS Feeds from your PHP Page


RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and Atom are two famous feed format.
If you open any RSS Feed page, first line starts with < ?xml … ?> and then and at the end .
So anything inside and is feed data.
Every content is placed under .
So all we need to do is read information inside and display it.

Here is a sample program that does it.
/* Our Code Starts Here */
//Enter the Feed url as parameter to function
$xml = simplexml_load_file(”http://www.vaseemansari.com/blog/feed”);
//To check if the read document is a rss feed
if($xml->channel->item)
{
$contents = $xml->channel->item;
foreach($contents as $content)
{
echo $content->title;
echo $content->description;
}
}
else
{
echo “Invalid RSS Format”;
}
/* Our Code Ends Here */
