I recently joined an affiliate program that has a bunch of XML feeds at my disposal. But I would like to convert them into RSS for easier management and to refresh the content once every hour. Is there such script out there?

RSS is a kind of XML. The "native" langauge for converting one kind of XML to another is known as XSLT; you feed the input XML feed and a template, or XSL "stylesheet," into your XSLT engine and you can obtain the precise output you need. Which XSLT engine you use will depend on your environment (i.e. Java, PHP, Windows, etc.).

Thanks. So basically you were saying a XSLT PHP engine will able to output a RSS feed or anything I want from a XML file?

I'm saying you can convert from any kind of XML to any other kind of XML using XSLT.
