Obvious Ideas: Handling RSS Feeds with PHP using Zend_Feed

  • sole · 1 year ago
    Have you thought of using SimplePie? Or was this a Zend exercise? :)

    While making the tests for this post, I've tested various PHP RSS wrappers. I tried some from PEAR, and I remmeberd that I once hear of a very good PHP RSS library called something-pie. So I've stumbled on Magpie, which is very simple. So I did thought of SimplePie, but I forgot the right name :-( I will look into it. Thanks !
    (And it was also a Zend exercise so it's not that bad)

    Yeah, SimplePie is very good. I always recommend it. Zend exercising is always good too :-)

    I've just looked into their tutorials and it seems that it's possible to do with Simplepie what wasn't possible with others, which is outputting the original node content. I will try it later, and post an update on this post. Thanks again ! :-)

    Hi i came across your article whilst trying to work out how to ensure that my feeds are converted to latin 1. Is there a method in zend feed to set the character encoding of the output?

    I'm getting some weird characters appearing in my ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) output because the original source is in UTF-8. any tips?

    You can use the iconv function to change encoding of the text. See more here: http://il2.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php
