Using the Wordpress Post Title as title of RSS Feed????

I want to pass the title (the_title())of the blog post as the query for the rss feed.

$URL = "http://search.msn.com/news/results.aspxq=credit+card&format=rss&FORM=RSNR";

In the above, instead of hard coding the word credit+card, I want to pass the title as a parameter.

So, I tried doing the following and it did not work:

$keyword = <?php the_title(); ?>;

$URL = "http://search.msn.com/news/results.aspxq=$keyword&format=rss&FORM=RSNR";

The following worked:

$keyword = 'credit+card';
$URL = "http://search.msn.com/news/results.aspxq=$keyword&format=rss&FORM=RSNR";

But I want to use the title of the post as a criteria for the rss feeds.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

THanks

 

The system for displaying latest blogs at DigitalPoint doesn't seem to allow that.

Mine used to display the title of thje most recent blog post. For the past few months at least, it has stopped doing that and now displays just "Psychlinks Blog", the name of the blog, rather than the most recent post title.

On other forums using a latest blog feature, it works just fine, so I assume it's an issue with DigitalPoint rather than a general issue.

 

Not sure How your response is related to my question....

I just want keyword of the RSS feed to be the title of the post on which the RSS will be displayed. The title tag is the "the_title" in wordpress. I want the value of "the_title" to be keyword in the rss URL. I was wondering if there are any PHP experts who could tell how to do this...

 

it looks like the_title has optional parameters.

the_title($before = '', $after = '', $echo = true)

so you could try:

$keyword = the_title('','',false) ;
$URL = "http://search.msn.com/news/results.aspxq=$keyword&format=rss&FORM=RSNR";

I'm not sure if this will work, just noticed the_title function's parameters

 

Just use the_title_rss() in your RSS template.
