I want to learn to manipulate rss feeds and display it on my website. How can I do it? I just need to be able to access all this info asap. What's this method called? Any websites that can teach me?
Use this. It's very easy to use. http://www.rss2html.com/ See readme file for more details. Still if find any problem, you can send PM.
You can work with RSS as XML files. Use PHP built-in functions. (SimpleXML functions). Take a look at this: http://php.net/simplexml-load-file.php
Well, right now I need to stay updated with a few websites (election stuff). How can I like get the latest articles and put it on my website? I just need it in the most basic html form and all on one page on my website so I can access it easily via mobile. So far, I used dapper, but it doesn't exactly give me an xml file that's needed for php SimpleXML. I am willing to learn, I jsut need to know where can I find the things I need to learn adn what is it called.
I would use their API and have your site ping them automatically via a CRON job and update the RSS feed automatically based on the increments of your CRON jobs.
See this site www.latest10.com This site is displaying yahoo feed in different categories. You can use yahoo feed in category which you want. example, http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/elections
you can also use magpierss to read RSS feeds and display it on your page. hxxp://magpierss.sourceforge.net/
What would it cost to make someone setup the rss2html script and cronjob? And of course explain in plain (laymen)language how to ad feeds?
