Hello.

Thank you for HuddledParser. I’ve been trying forever to figure out how to pull the link element from Blogger and HuddledParser is doing it, except Blogger’s feed includes two link elements and it’s adding both to the href attribute.

Example: href=“https://www.blogger.com/atom/8090863/109380437787746685http://onlytheweb.blogspot.com/2004/08/quick-reply-in-opera-mail.html” title=”“>Quick Reply in Opera Mail

How can I remove the first link?

Thanks.

From this post, Tim taught me about HuddledParser 2.0. Very nifty. I can’t wait to inspect the php code, because it uses objects! Woohoo. Anyway, the IFrame is gone and replaced with calls to HuddledParser. Check out the new feed at the bottom of…

Of course you could use this and modify it … it’s really just a simple example of how to use PHP’s xml parsing , The only reason it’s limited to what it is, is that I’m just not interested in competing with existing server-side aggregators, all I wanted was something I could use on my site.

I have been looking around for a PHP script that can parse feeds but preferably liberally – from what you say this seems to do that (Magpie doesn’t). However you only parse for summaries and my aim is to build a complete server side personal RSS aggregator (the current ones about don’t ‘float my boat’, I have ‘needs’).

Any ideas? is this suitable with modifications?

Thanks

any thoughts on allowing for enclosure fetching?

Joel, one more thing – to guarantee uniqueness on your saved cache file name you can try this:

$cacheName = $this->cacheFolder . ‘/xmlcache_’ . md5($url);

using the md5 hash on the url will pretty much guarantee that you get a unique file name for each cached feed.

Joel, I would suggest you use fsocket instead of fopen – just because fsocket supports a connection timeout to the remote url. This way if a feed is unavailable you can handle it.

Other than that it sounds like a nice little package. I will have to download it and see if it will suit my needs better than the current parser I use, lastRSS (which also uses fopen but is easilly modified to use fsocket).

Well, I admit I hadn’t tried it before, mainly because I’m just using this on web-pages, and I don’t have any private feeds that I want to make public [] but I just tried it on my gmail atom feed, and it works fine with https://user:password@host using fopen.
