Quick RSS Feed example
Here’s a quick way to get your site running with it’s own RSS feed. You rarely see a site without one!
<?php
header('Content-type: text/xml'); //change file type to XML
include("the database!"); //get config
?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Feed Name</title>
<description>Feed Descriptiondescription>
<link>http://yoursite.com</link>
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM entries ORDER BY id DESC"); //get the information
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){ //repeat the info
?>
<item>
<title><?php echo $row['title']; //echo the title
?></title>
<description><?php echo $row[short]; //echo the content
?></description>
<author>SiteName submissions@yoursite.com</author>
<link>http://yoursite.com/index.php?id=<?php echo $row['id']; //another link to the article
?></link>
<guid>http://yoursite.com/#<?php echo $row[id];// Quick Link
?></guid>
</item>
<?
} //end the while
?>
</channel>
</rss>
