Any Intrest in a syndication hack?

[Dave#]

Anyone intrested - should I document this?

This hack allows webmaster to provide syndicated VB content to other webmasters such as Latest topics, Latest Polls or calendar entries to other webmasters for inclusion on their websites. The webmasters using the feeds do NOT need PHP, PERL, MYSQL, ASP just a javascript enabled browser.

Requirements

* Crontab
* The ability to run PHP via the command line

In action- stick this code in a html file and it should be fairly self explanatory

<script src="http://cpfc.org/forums/latest_topics.txt"></script><noscript>To see the latest news, you need a browser that supports JavaScript.</noscript><p>Powered by <a href="http://www.cpfc.org">www.cpfc.org</a></p>

If their is enough intrest I will document this

Yes dave, that would be great.

p.s. PHP can be run through the command line (and thus via cron) if it is an apache module by using lynx to run the script. Just thought you might be interested.

The way I'm doing it is

/path/to/php/binary /path/to/php/script.php > /path/to/output.file

It's surperbly fasy


I'll write this up soon and post it :)
