> PHP library reading and creating RSS



**disclaimer:**

This class is functional. Anyway, use it only if you don't have other choices.  

For example, [Zend](http://framework.zend.com/manual/current/en/modules/zend.feed.introduction.html) and Symfony got their own RSS factory, don't add another one in.

## :rocket: Usage



----------------------------------



How to make it read RSS?



First, we need to load the RSS :



    $rss = SRSS::read('http://exemple.com/rss.xml');



Easy, right? Then you can extract general information :



    echo $rss->title; // will display blog title



Then, you can take care of articles. You can select a precise article :



    $article1 = $rss->getItem(1); // or $rss->getFirst();



Or looping them :



    foreach($rss as $article) {

        echo ''. SRSSTools::formatDate('d/m/y', $item->pubDate).' '.$item->title.'';

    }



If you like arrays, you can transform the RSS into an array :



    $rssArray = $rss->toArray();



You can also save it into your server with :



    $rss->save('/www/rss/rss.xml'); // example



Or finally, you can display it with :



    $rss->show();



----------------------------------



How to make it create RSS?



First, we need to initialize the RSS :



    $rss = SRSS::create();



Easy, right? Then you can add general information :



    $rss->title = 'My Awesome Blog';

    $rss->link = 'http://shikiryu.com/devblog/';

    $rss->description = 'is awesome';



Those 3 are mandatory to validate your RSS, other options can be added.

Then, you can add articles. Let's imagine $content contains an array from your database.



    foreach($content as $item){

        $rssitem = new Item(); // we create an item

        $rssitem->title = $item["title"]; // adding title (option)

        $rssitem->link = $item['link']; // adding link (option)

        $rssitem->pubDate = $item["date"]; // date automatically transformed into RSS format (option)

        $rssitem->description = $item["text"]; // adding description (mandatory)

        $rss->addItem($rssitem); // we add the item into our RSS

    }



There are 2 functions to add item.

The first one will add items in the order you enter them, from top to bottom.



    $rss->addItem($item);



The other one does the opposite and add the next item in top of your RSS



    $rss->addItemBefore($item);



----------------------------------
