: : Hi,
: : I've found a bunch of information on how to create and read RSS feeds
: : but I haven't found anything on inserting them into html documents. It
: : is my understanding that you can take any RSS feed and have it render in
: : an html document. I could be making this up, I don't know.
: :
: : Can someone tell me if 1) this is possible and 2) if so how can I set it up?
:
:
: 1. Yes, javascript or php or xml
:
: 2. http://www.webreference.com/authoring/languages/xml/rss/intro/index.html
:
: I use a php "back" office script which uses the inbuilt xml parser and simply
: include the output in the web pages.
:
: Couple of minor gotchas:
: - caching is required for some feeds
: - character encoding, use UTF-8 in the output pages but had to add a few
: regex's to parse some html entities not covered by PHP - xml parser
:
Very remiss of me, to (1) ADD "and Perl".
There is an example script in O'Reilly's Perl 'Cookbook' ? 2nd edition, using
the Guardian (UK) feed and it includes a search function for other Guardian stories
as well which I thought was a useful add on........
