This PHP script will query your MySQL database’s table where you keep your news, articles and such and basically create an XML file from that information. Once you look into the file itself, you can see that the query would need to be changed to suit your needs, but that’s pretty much the end of it.
The script defines where the XML file is located that will get overridden in this case it would be .com/feeds/index.xml, but you can change that to what and where you want the file to be located. You would also need to change the permissions on that file so that the class could override the file.
The one thing that I actually do personally, is call the class itself once I get a result back from:
1. an article being added to the system.
2. an article being deleted from the system.
Download to get the PHP file to “Creating a Dynamic (xml) RSS Feed from PHP and MySQL“
To change Rss back into mysql with php:
how to i call it from the interpreting page e.g xml_source=”;
I have just swapped hosts for my web site and the current method that I used for creating a feed doesn’t work on their server. I will give this one a go tonight and hopefully it will save me a headache.
Many thanks for sharing this
Hi, thanks for this post/script Rich. I have been trying out a range of scripts that are out there at the moment, as not enough provide assistance with integrating with an existing database.
I found one that I like that is fairly recent, and would recommend, as others would find the Php FeedWriter class useful as well. It is a Php Class that is supported, with online documentation available as well. It is called Php FeedWriter, and can be downloaded for free here:
Php FeedWriter – Generate Feeds Using Php
I like this class as it is easy to create a feed using the functions provided, and a feed can be outputted in multiple formats (Atom 1.0, RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0).
Thanks again for sharing this as it helped me link my feed to the database.
This is extremely useful for me as I have absolutely no knowledge about RSS. Thanks a lot Rich!
I will immediately snatch your rss as I can not find your e-mail subscription link or e-newsletter service. Do you have any? Please let me recognize in order that I may subscribe. Thanks.
Thanks. This is what I need now.
link is dead.
