BJ Min · 09-29-2009, 01:59 AM

hi,

i have a xml feed that i want to use with a php page...
but it's not working the way i do it...which is (basically copy
and paste the xml feed and put it into my php page).

anyone know how to use XML feed into php?

thanks
BJ

ps...i am using FRONTPAGE to create this php page...and not
sure how to incorporate the xml feed into the page...do i just
add all the codes in xml page to the php page?

There are a lot of fast and good feed parsers but you might need to do some customizations. A very easy and basic one is Magpie RSS - PHP RSS Parser

If you are familiar with PHP and know what you need, i'd suggest SimplePie: Super-fast, easy-to-use, RSS and Atom feed parsing in PHP. - it is very powerful and supports a lot of XML / RSS standards

Hope that helps

but when i insert the XML codes into the frontpage php page...

it comes all jumbled up...

are there any WYSIWYG type of php softwares?

Not sure what you mean - if you try to insert plain XML it will be rendered as XML and not link + description. So you need to parse XML in PHP and then create a nice output.

You could leave the PHP parser in a separate file and then just add something like <?php include("myphpparser.php"); ?> in your frontpage template
