Try my feed library...

http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/demiblog/trunk/blog/includes/Feed.class?view=markup

Example of usage:

<?php

// This file is called "http://example.com/feed.xml"

// Load up the Feed library.

require 'Feed.class';

// Create a new feed.

$f = Feed::factory(
'rss2',
'Example.com News',
'http://example.com/feed.xml',
'All the latest news and greatest views from Example.com',
'en' #English
);

// You would normally want to read your news from a database and
// add each item to the feed. However, for simplicity I'll add a
// couple of news items without using a database.

$f->add_item(
'EXMP Shares Reach Record High',
'http://example.com/news/2007/share-price',
'News of the new chairman reached Wall Street and EXMP shares...',
'en',
array('article_date'=>strtotime('Today'))
);
$f->add_item(
'New Chairman of ExampleCorp Elected',
'http://example.com/news/2007/chairman',
'Joe Bloggs has been elected president of ExampleCorp...',
'en',
array('article_date'=>strtotime('Yesterday'))
);

// Now we just need to output the feed.

header("Content-Type: application/rss+xml");
print $f->output();

?>

The library also allows you to produce Atom, iCalendar, RDF and various
other feed formats for very little extra effort.
