how to put RSS feed on html pages

Calm down guys...
I understand both of you have a different philosopical outlook.
I saw both of you had good and interesting viewpoints
My experience has been a badly written script will get the IP banned.

 

Much as i hate to admit it... noddip is right here - you don't want to put a script on a page that will make it's request everytime the page loads. probably not an issue for someone setting up a new site though - is it?

I do all my RSS processing offline and publish static pages - that's my choice though... everyone's free to do it their own way.

This is the beauty of the internet - NO?

 

What's up with the name calling. I just read another post from you noppid where you called a DP Member a "scammer" and a "cheat."

Of course you are entitled to your opinion but seriously, name calling?

 

DangerMouse your a big man
I fake static pages by using jpCache when possible

 

I currently use a bit of php that requests an RSS feed every time the page is called.

It's a bit of a pain in the arse because essentially, every time I get a hit on my site, I get yet another document called at exactly the same time.

This server really isn't especially fast and I'm pretty sure that errors often appear (I've seen them a few times).

I feel exactly the same way about this with HTML markup.

I like accessible not code bloated sites.

Anyway, that's my little bit

 

Some people get pissed at adsense cheats, I have my niche. Bad code and bad or deceptive code/TOS.

Perhaps I'm a bit rough around the edges, I'm too old too change that.

But in every case, I've offered a better alternative, usually more then one too , as well as sound reasoning.

I'm a put up or shut up person, I put up and I'm hard to shut up. :0

 

I don't know where I heard this noppid but: it aint what you say, it's the way that you say it... Anyway, enough...

I've just looked at carp and it looks ideal - easy setup, you can control the cache time and there's a javascript version you can use if you don't have a php enabled server.

My problem is that my host make me specify ALL outgoing requests before I make them... I have to write to them, ask them to open x IP for y purpose - That wass my only reason for writing flat files... Although now I've written the code it's just a matter of scheduled tasks and low server loads (and I get to archive all the content... rsstatic can do that too though)

 

Thanks for the recommendation on Carp everyone. I've been using a simple RSS script that I found somewhere to pull my own blog and forum feeds for my home page and I'm pretty sure it does not use a cache. This looks like a much better solution!

 

noppid, would you mind elaborating on this for my edification? I'm an applications developer who is just starting to dabble in PHP and I'm curious as to what the issues are with those methods and what method is preferred over them. TIA.

 

Most major players have links to the info on their feed pages. I followed the links at the yahoo feeds to get my info IIRC. There is plenty of it.

Specifically, look for info on the RSS feed telling you what the cache interval should be.

 

I'm not sure who the "major players" are or where to find the links you speak of. I'm just working on my own site with my own feeds right now. If you have a link, I'd appreciate it.
