Hi all,
i run a large membership site for scouts and I'm looking into
incorporating RSS feeds into the news pages. Problem is, I know nothing
about them! I've managed to get a simple test feed to work but I'm a
little confused! My basic question is this:

Do I just keep adding new topics to the top of the xml file every day
or do I just put the new stuff in the file and delete the rest? ie. Do
RSS readers automatically remember feed history or what?

One more (slightly harder) question: Is it possible to add PHP to a
feed or use a CRON job to write a feed which pulls info from a mySQL
database?

Thanks!
Ciarán
