rss

I am searching an RSS parser written in PHP. The problem is not that I cannot find one. The problem is that there are too many and it's hard to decide which one to use (especially when I have no experience with them and to try them is too time consuming). Can anybody recommend me a "good" RSS parser? The following requirements are important to me (given in order of importance): It's able to extract all information given in the feed (not only title, description and link but everything what is there, for example feeds author, feeds icon, items tags and so on). It should be able to read not only

I'm trying to add support for stackoverflow feeds in my rss reader but SelectNodes and SelectSingleNode have no effect. This is probably something to do with ATOM and xml namespaces that I just don't understand yet. I have gotten it to work by removing all attributes from the feed tag, but that's a hack and I would like to do it properly. So, how do you use SelectNodes with atom feeds? Here's a snippet of the feed. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:creativeCommons="http://backend.userland.com/creativeCommonsRssModule" xmlns:thr="http://purl

This is my code that loads an existing XML file or string into a DOMDocument object: $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->formatOutput = true; // the content actually comes from an external file $doc->loadXML('<rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title></title> <description></description> <link></link> </channel> </rss>'); $doc->getElementsByTagName("title")->item(0)->appendChild($doc->createTextNode($titleText)); $doc->getElementsByTagName("description")->item(0)->appendChild($doc->createTextNode($descriptionText)); $doc->getElementsByTagName("link")->item(0)->appendChild($doc->createTextNode($linkText)

I wonder how web applications like Google Reader, Blogline, techronati works, and what technics they follow to parse millions of RSS feeds using cron job at one time? There is a lot of different techniques... the "worst" one being the one that you describe. (time based polling). The first thing you need to consider is that they may not all do the parsing on the server side. For example, I know that Netvibes was doing the parsing on the client side (but cached the content on the server), so it saved them a lot of resources. This way they would poll feeds only when users asked from them, so

With .net 3.5, there is a SyndicationFeed that will load in a RSS feed and allow you to run LINQ on it. Here is an example of the RSS that I am loading: <rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"> <channel> <title>Title of RSS feed</title> <link>http://www.google.com</link> <description>Details about the feed</description> <pubDate>Mon, 24 Nov 08 21:44:21 -0500</pubDate> <language>en</language> <item> <title>Article 1</title> <description><![CDATA[How to use StackOverflow.com]]></description> <link>http://youtube.com/?v=y6_-cLWwEU0</link> <media:player url="http://youtube
