I need a method to automatically take articles from a sites RSS feed, and then save a cached version to host on my site, similar to what google does. I don't even need the actual code to do this, I just need you to point me in the right direction and show me what I should be looking at. First person that can help me gets $5.00 via paypal. Thanks in advance.
use php file_get_contents(); to get the feed, then use preg_match & explode & other string handling functions to extract the pure links then you use file_get_contents(); again to fetch each article, then use preg_match & explode & other string handling functions to extract the pure articles then use fopen()/fwrite()/fclose() to write the stuff into textfile or hand it into your database
Here is a thread from someone looking for a similar script: http://www.programmingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=33752 Hope that helps.
Download magpie from sourceforge. Then modify the open souce GPL content to do whatever you want. It already has cache.
