Parsing an XML feed to produce a site map.

[SEbasic]

OK... Before I start, I don't know the first thing about PHP.

I am not a programmer, but I would really love to give this project a go myself (I normally have someone else write all this kind of thing for me ;))

SO...

I'm sure that this would be possibe, and have spoken to my programmer guy and he has said that it shouldn't be too hard to do...

What I would like, is to have a script that sits on my server, and parses (Every hour or something) the atom feed provided by blogger.

I would like to pull the url and title of the posts, then write it (If possible) to the bottom of a static HTML file.

Basically, create a dynamic site map...

I would probabally (I imagine anyway), have to write the first part of the site map by hand, because the feed only includes the latest 5 posts...

Does anyone have enough time (or the inclination) to give me a hand with this...

It would be great if I could get this to work, because one if the things that I find most irritating with blogger is the inability to have a site map...

Cheers in advance for anyone that thinks they might be able to help...

This is EASY to do mate.

Simply download "Magpie RSS" and follow the instructions, they're pretty straight forward.

It has a built in CACHE functions so its quick too.

Ah, nice one mate :D

I'll give it a go...

OK...

*chough*

How do I do that then???

Like I say - NOOB with PHP

[xml]

Include the file:

<?php
include 'rss_fetch.inc';

$feed = fetch_rss("http://www.feedsfarm.com/x/r/2.0-seo");

if ($feed) {
foreach ($feed -> items as $item) {
?>
<a href="<?php echo $item[link]; ?>"><?php echo $item[title]; ?></a><br />
<?php
}
}
?>

That *should* do it!

Thanks XML - sorry for the delay in replying...

I'll give this a go. I'm not sure what to do with this really, but I'll play with it a little and see what to do with it.
