Adding Site:x's RSS feed to my homepage.

////// · 10-29-2006, 05:07 AM

Hello forum people.

I am making my (first)homepage (ISP "sponsored") and I was wondering if it is possible to get for example..

Code:

"http://today.reuters.com/rss/topNews"

.. to show up as a links(headlines) in my homepage, I obviously dont want "hardcoded" links.
What I would like to see in my homepage is links to the reuters news that are updated when RSS feed is updated.

I did some googling but I could not find solution for this one, all I did find was "adding RSS feed to google/yahoo/xxx/yyy homepage.

Question 1: So is this possible or am I asking too much ?
Question 2: Is this kind of content "leeching" ok ? This is just personal homepage with collection of bookmarked sites and other content that I'm intrested of.

TIA

////

Update: Ok, I think I found solution for my prob = RSS2HTML.

I don't know what your ISP has provided but if you have access to PHP on your server, the PEAR XML_RSS class is installed and php.ini (PHP config file on the server) has got 'allow_url_fopen = On' the code is pretty simple.

PHP Code:



require "XML/RSS.php"; 
 
$feed = "http://today.reuters.com/rss/topNews"; 
 
$rss =& new XML_RSS($feed); 
$rss->parse(); 
 
print("<ul>\n"); 
foreach($rss->getItems() as $item) 
   { 
   printf("<li><a href=\"%s\">%s</a></li>\n", 
         $item['link'],$item['title']); 
   } 
print("</ul>\n");

Hi, that script didn't work, my ISP provides PHP in safemode and it does not have PEAR XML_RSS class.

But anyway thanks for reply.

I managed to get it work with..

..this script.

Cheers
