GET the RSS feed

$feed=file_get_contents('URL');
$rss=new  SimpleXmlElement($feed);
foreach($rss->channel->item as $entry) {
echo "<p><a href='$entry->link' title='$entry->title'>" . $entry->title . "</a></p>";

} 

PHP:

I used a blog's rss feed address instead of the url in $feed,but it didn't work.
why?
i learn php recently,can anyone give me the meanings of the $rss->channel->item .thank you!
PS:my php environment supports the file_get_contents（）function.

 

check your rss feed address

 

$rss->channel->item relates to Class and Object. Read the manual for Classes and Object in php as php is Object-oriented programming language.

If you are totally new to php and haven't learned any programming language before, don't bother this stuff right now. It just gives you headache .

 

first,thank you for yours answers.i have read the php's Class and Object.too disappointed and puzzled.now,i know that states a class,the format is

and when refer a variable from a class,the format is $variablename=new classname, $variablename->variablename,
from these,i found there is no channel in SimpleXmlElement. why ,who can explain these for me.
3Q!

 

If this is not working

$feed=file_get_contents('URL');

Please try getting the contents using curl and parse the output using the SimpleXMLElement

Thanks!!
