Hello Guys! Implementing rss Feed writer in Php is pretty easy.we will be collecting the data dynamically from our blog table for implementation of php feed writer.This feed writer is for rrs 2.

you can easily create feeds for your website or blog using this simple code.the code is written using structured programming.perhaps i will write the oops code for feed writer in my next post.

this code is very is and simple for the beginners.

lets see below the XML format for the for RSS FEED:

<RSS VERSION="2.0">
<CHANNEL>
<TITLE>YOUR WEBSITE TITLE</TITLE>
<LINK> WWW.YOURWEBSITENAME.COM </LINK>
<DESCRIPTION>	A LITTLE DISCRIPTION OF YOUR SITE	</DESCRIPTION>
<LANGUAGE>EN-US</LANGUAGE>
<COPYRIGHT>COPYRIGHT (C) 2009 YOUR SITE.COM</COPYRIGHT>
<ITEM>
 <TITLE>YOUR POST TITLE</TITLE>
 <DESCRIPTION>	POST DESCRIPTION</DESCRIPTION>
 <LINK>LINK TO THE POST EG:WWW.YOURWEBSITE.COM/POST/SAMPLEPOST.HTM</LINK>
 <PUBDATE>FRI, 30 SEP 2011 23:57:04 +0200</PUBDATE>
</ITEM>
</CHANNEL>
</RSS>

 

Now that You have seen the Basic format for the Xml Rss feeds.we will be using the this format in our php and web will generate this rss feed code using our php script.

Firstly you need to create a php script file and paste the script given below in it.you may give script any name but i recommend to create a folder named "FEED" then inside that folder create index.php and paste the code in file.

it will be like www.yourwebsitename.com/feed and you can see your feed xml.

The code is below. it is really- really simple.you just need to copy and paste and file require little bit of editing like : your databse name,table name for the blog.

 

THE Php Script:

<?php
    header("Content-Type: application/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1");
        $rssfeed = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>';
        $rssfeed .= '<rss version="2.0">';
        $rssfeed .= '<channel>';
        $rssfeed .= '<title>Skynet It Solutions Blog</title>';
        $rssfeed .= '<link>http://www.skynetitsolutions.com</link>';
        $rssfeed .= '<description>Get the latest Php,jquery,Ajax any many more Tutorials From Skynet it solutions Blog</description>';
        $rssfeed .= '<language>en-us</language>';
        $rssfeed .= '<copyright>Copyright (C) 2009 skynetitsolutions.com</copyright>';

         $con=mysql_connect('localhost',"your db user name"," your db password");
             mysql_select_db("your db name",$con);
        $query = "SELECT * FROM tableName where ORDER BY date DESC";//your query here
        $result=mysql_query($query);

        while(mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
        extract($row);
        $dis=str_split(stripslashes($row['description']),  strpos($row['description'], '.',250));
                    
        $rssfeed .= '<item>';
        $rssfeed .= '<title>' . $title . '</title>';
        $rssfeed .= '<description>' . htmlspecialchars(html_entity_decode(strip_tags($description[0]),ENT_QUOTES)) . '</description>';
        $rssfeed .= '<link> http://www.yourwebsite.com/blog/post/$title. '</link>';
        $rssfeed .= '<pubDate>' . date("D, d M Y H:i:s O", strtotime($date)) . '</pubDate>';
        $rssfeed .= '</item>';
        }

        $rssfeed .= '</channel>';
        $rssfeed .= '</rss>';

        echo $rssfeed;
?>
