    Hi,
    I want to make a website similar to this one www.livefoot.fr . This site works in automatic mode. He uses rss feed from other websites. I'm 100% that this is a custom script.

    I'm good at programming in html,css and php :rolleyes:. What I would like to know is where can I start to code a website like this one. Are there tutorials on how to code rss with php. I didn't find them on google. I know I put the wrong keyword on google, but I don't know which keyword is the correct one to find tutorials about this topic.

    I hope someone can help me on this

    Thank you very much

    cheers,
    xcelent88

    RSS is simply a standard formatting method for a XML document.

    PHP5+ has Simplexml support which can be extremely powerful in reading, and creating XML documents. All you really need to do is understand how RSS is formatted and apply it to creating an XML document.

    Here's a great tutorial on simpleXML that utilizes a DOM method of creating XML documents. You would just need to organize to RSS specifications. http://www.phpro.org/tutorials/Introduction-To-SimpleXML-With-PHP.html#6 Start at the "Create a SimpleXMLElement" section to get started.

    Try google for serverxmlhttp or ServerHTTPRequest. You'll get some good directions.

    Here's one link for you
