XML Feeds Online
How To Display An XML Feed On Your Website
by William
Lee
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) has taken
off in a big way. Just as satellite television
beams more channels into your home than you
can watch, RSS allows to you display an endless
amount of other peoples content. Whilst RSS
XML feeds are plenty, there's not as much
in the way of clear, simple instruction when
it comes to making use of those feeds.
If you're one of the webmasters who uses a
content management system that makes using
RSS XML feeds as simple as specifying a feed
URL then you're fortunate in that respect.
For others, the options available tend to
be offered by developers of the software and
the usage instructions provided can often
be riddled with technical jargon. Many cry,
"Use my feed", but fewer tell you how.
One of the best and easiest ways I've found
to show the content from an RSS XML feed on
one of my websites is to use a ready made
PHP parser. Now, don't worry about what that
means, just think of it as somthing that someone
has already created; a blackbox that makes
it easy for you to use content from RSS feeds
and display it on your website.
For this guide, I've used MagpieRSS because
it's compact, works well and is distributed
under the GPL, which basically means it's
free for you to use. Now, MagpieRSS is written
in PHP so you'll need a compatible hosting
account that allows you to execute PHP scripts.
For the purposes of this guide, I'm assuming
you've some level of basic knowledge about
websites e.g. you know how to FTP, change
file permissions etc. Covering the basics
of running a website is beyond the scope of
this article.
Instead, let's cover what are probably the
most difficult steps; displaying the content
from an RSS feed on your website.
1. Download the latest stable release of MagpieRSS.
2. Extract the contents of the ZIP file onto
your computer.
3. The core files you need from the ZIP package
are rss_cache.inc, rss_fetch.inc, rss_parse.inc,
rss_utils.inc. You'll also need the extlib
folder together with the Snoopy.class.inc
file inside of it.
4. Create a new file to display your RSS feed.
I've called mine, index.php. Inside this file,
copy and paste the contents of the file referred
to below and save it.
5. Upload all of the files and the folder
mentioned in steps 3 and 4 to your hosting
account. Put them into the desired location,
but ensure that the Snoopy.class.inc file
is still within the extlib folder.
6. Then visit the file you created in step
4 using your web browser.
That's the basics of it. Once you've got this
far, customising the way you present the content
of the feed is relatively easy. Just refer
back to the MagpieRSS website for guidance
on how to do this.
