note 107713 added to function.xml-parse

Here is my World's smallest (I hope so :)) RSS parser with optional caching capabilities. <?php // The World's smallest RSS feed parser by CyberSEO.net (contacts: http://www.cyberseo.net/#contacts) // Put your RSS feed URL here: $feed = file_get_contents ( "http://rt.com/news/today/rss/" ); // There must be a local path to your optional cache file (e.g. cache.txt) which must be writable by the script. $filename = "cache.txt"; // The default cash refresh time is set to 1 hour (60 * 60), but you can change it to any other value. if (file_exists ( $filename ) && filesize ( $filename ) && (time () - filectime ( $filename )) < 60 * 60) { $content = file_get_contents ( $filename ); } else { $xml_parser = xml_parser_create (); xml_parse_into_struct ( $xml_parser, $feed, $vals, $index ); // The maximum number of displayed items is limited by 5. Change it to whatever you want. $cnt = min ( 5, count ( $index ["TITLE"] ) ); $content = ""; for($i = 1; $i < $cnt; $i ++) { $content .= "<h3>" . html_entity_decode ( $vals [$index ["TITLE"] [$i]] ["value"], ENT_QUOTES ) . "</h3>\n"; $content .= "<p>" . html_entity_decode ( $vals [$index ["DESCRIPTION"] [$i]] ["value"], ENT_QUOTES ) . "</p>\n"; } file_put_contents ( $filename, $content, LOCK_EX ); xml_parser_free ( $xml_parser ); } echo $content; ?> Just place this code somewhere into your PHP file and it will parse the given feed.
