Reading a news or blog feed (RSS) in your PHP page

If you want to quote the latest articles from an RSS (XML based) news feed on your site, is it difficult? No - it can easily be programmed in PHP. I was exploring this yesterday and have the source code showing just how easy it is in our training resources.

Want to try it out? This link runs the script in our resource centre 'against' The Horse's Mouth

Truly, the answer "There's a function to do that" really does seem to apply to PHP coding!

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
