PHP & RSS

Parsing and that

[j4mes]

Hi,

I have a nice RSS feed of various TV channels (not mine but I can't link it obvs) and I'd like to use PHP to parse through, pick out the ones I like and present them with times.

Here's what it looks like:

<item> 
 <title>1800 : Programme</title> 
 <description> ... Description ... </description> 
 <link> ... Link ... </link> 
</item> 

With the whole day layed out in kind.

Since my PHP knowledge is relatively limited I wondered how easy this would be, and what the kind of code I should be using looks like.

Cheers,

J.

PHP has a couple of built-in XML methods. Maybe xml_parse_into_struct() is the one you need, as it parses XML data into arrays, which you can later loop through.

On [php.net...] you'll find some examples of parsing XML data.

The really hard part will be to code "pick out the ones I like" into the script ;)
