How many people here would be interested in a piece of software that converts RSS feeds into audio files that could be downloaded as .mp3 or .wav formats?

i'm using cURL for the first time and just want to make sure i'm doing it right, i'm using it to grab an rss feed for processing.

class ej_getfeed { public $XMLResponseRaw; function curlRequest() { $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->URL); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 180); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); $data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return($data); } function getFeed() { $rawData = $this->curlRequest(); $this->XMLResponseRaw = $rawData; } function pullXML($URL) { $this->URL = $URL; $this->getFeed(); return simplexml_load_string($this->XMLResponseRaw); } }

any help would be greatly appreciated, since this is my first time ever touching cURL

Yahoo Mail sucked (pardon my French). However their new version (beta as is the norm these days) is getting rave reviews. Here is a review which compares it with GMail and Microsoft’s Live Mail.

I’m looking into how one would set up an RSS feed a smallish website for fun/learning. I think my preferred method is to have a function that is called when the journal is updated that generates a static RSS page, rather than have the RSS feed query the database itself.

I like this method because an RSS feed isn’t really what I think of when I think dynamic content – it’s the same for every visitor. If you have 50-100 visitors between updates, you just saved yourself 49-99 database calls. It also feels more secure. If you’re querying a database, there is potential to fall victim to a injection attack. Well, the point where one updated the journal is still vulnerable, but that’s true in either method.

I was looking at how some of the blogging software generates RSS, but they all query the database directly from the feed. Is there something I’m missing? Why is this method so overwhelmingly preferred?

so i'm using movable type for some stuff, and the RSS feed i have right now displays entries written by all the authors. is there a way to make an xml file that only shows the stuff from one author? if it helps any, they do have individual pages where only their entries are shown (using the MTEntries author=X field).

My co-worker and I are working on a project. He enquired as to what I thought was the best/most popular RSS Readers/Aggregators around. I don't personally use a Reader for such as I use the feeds available via LJ and I've been out of the loop for a while so I don't have anything useful to tell him. Any help/information would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking to learn about syndication and I'm having a hard time finding a really good resource for beginners. The last time I used XML was several years ago, and while the markup itself doesn't look too difficult my head is swimming because none of the guides I've found have done a good job of explaining the nuts and bolts of the various versions. Also, where do things stand regarding the various RSS versions and Atom? Part of why I'm having a hard time getting started is because I'm not sure which is the "right" choice (if such a thing even exists) for personal site updates. Any suggestions for a good starting point?

So, I've been doing some research with using/implementing RSS feeds. I've looked into a little bit and there seems to be a good bit of stuff you can do with them. Internet Explorer (v6) is currently the only browser that doesn't do anything with them (what a surprise for IE to be lagging so far behind). IE7 does though, but that's not mainstream yet. I have a feeling RSS feeds will take a while before they become widely used. I'm just trying to get a rough idea of how popular they are or aren't.

So, please comment with whatever input you have. Even if you've never heard of them, please say so, Thanks :)

I want to include an RSS feed from a blog into a web page I'm creating so the text from the blog will show up in the page. Unfortunately, I can't find anyone that can tell me how to do it. Any ideas? Do I have to have an aggregator on my website, and, if so, which should I use and how do I use it.

Hi everyone,

I created a PHP5 library to handle requests to the YouTube API. It was basically to create an RSS feed for people's favorite videos, but I decided to generalize to to all the API methods. Check it out at my blog.

Is anyone really smart and knows anything about RSS feeds? It's confusing me. I'm trying to make a podcast, and I've entered in everything right (at least, I think I have) but it keeps saying I have an error. I uploaded a word document with the RSS feed code onto my webhost, but it keeps saying this message: "This page contains the following errors: error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty." If anyone can explain to me what this means and why it's happening, it would be much appreciated, thanks!

I've searched for an answer to this without any luck.
I've added a number of blogs to my RSS feed. However when I use the firefox/delicious bookmark panel on the left side of my browser, it shows blog entries alphabetically. What I want is to see the latest entries, and not have to scroll through everything trying to find the latest update.

It's been a while since i posted in here, but last time i got a great response and was sorted out quickly, so fingers crossed someone can spot the mischievous bit of code that is causing me problems and help me out :)


I am populating a drop down menu from a DB. I have sub categories and articles within those Subcats. I want the drop down to list the sub categories, then if there is only ONE article attached to that Subcat then it ges to a paage to display that article. If there are more than one, then it goes to a page that lists the articles for the user to choose.

I had the code working fine to display when just one article is assigned to each subcat. It even works when there is more than one.

HOWEVER, the problem is that if there is more than one article per subcat, it repeats the subcat name in the drop down. So if there are two articles, it lists the subcat twice, three articles shows three subcats, etc.

anyone able to look through the code and see where i am going wrong? :) pretty please? :)

many thanks in advance!



---lots of other php stuff up here, including an if statement just before the cut off point---

$catid = $rowCat['cat_id'];
} // end if isset

$subcatSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT c.cat_id, c.cat_title, c.cat_parentid, c.cat_type, c.cat_visible";
$subcatSQL .= " FROM tbl_cats c";
$subcatSQL .= " WHERE c.cat_visible=1 AND c.cat_parentid = '$catid'";
$subcatSQL .= " AND c.cat_type LIKE 'articles%'";
$subcatSQL .= " ORDER BY c.cat_id ASC";
$rsSubCat = mysql_query($subcatSQL, $conn) or die("Query failed : " . mysql_error());
while($rowSubCat = mysql_fetch_array($rsSubCat)){

$subcatid = $rowSubCat['cat_id'];

$artSQL = "SELECT a.art_id, a.art_title, a.art_visible, ac.artcat_artid, ac.artcat_catid";
$artSQL .= " FROM tbl_articles a, tbl_art_cats ac";
$artSQL .= " WHERE ac.artcat_catid = '$subcatid' AND ac.artcat_artid = a.art_id";
$artSQL .= " ORDER BY a.art_id ASC";
$rsArt = mysql_query($artSQL, $conn) or die("Query failed : " . mysql_error());
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($rsArt);

while($rowArt = mysql_fetch_array($rsArt)){

if ($num_rows > 1) {
?>

} elseif ($num_rows = 1) {
?>

} //end of elseif

} // end rowart while
} //end rowsubcat while
