Creating my own page w/ RSS. Need help
 
Hello everyone! Hopefully I'm in the right forum :)

What I'm trying to do is setup my own vb powered page with RSS feeds on it. Now I created my php file and the template. You can view it here:

http://forums.winforums.org/technews.php

I'm using Magpie to parse the RSS. Now I have a file called technewsdata.php which is called from a varible in my phpinclude_start template.

technewsdata.php
PHP Code:
<?

require_once 'rss_fetch.inc';

$url = 'http://rssnewsapps.ziffdavis.com/tech.xml';
$rss = fetch_rss($url);

echo "Site: ", $rss->channel['title'], "<br>\n";
foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
    $title = $item[title];
    $url   = $item[link];
    echo "<a href=$url>$title</a></li><br>\n";
}

?>
As you can see, this works perfect (check out link posted above). Now, I want to add about 5-10 more RSS feeds like this to the same page. Now I don't know PHP at all, so I'm not sure how to accomplish this. How can I use the ONE technewsdata.php file for all my RSS feeds? Is it called an array? That's where I'm hoping you guys could help me. So I don't have to create say, technewsdata_slashdot.php, with the same parse information above. I want to utilize one php file.

I hope this makes sense, and if not let me know what else you need from me.

Any help or information on this would be greatly appreciated!

there some nice php rss tutorials out there, you can look in the external.php file for ideas and also on google;)

external.php would be used if I wanted to use to create my own RSS correct? I'm asking pretty much how can I use php code all in one file, w/ multiple RSS feeds added to it.

Or...am I missing something?

Thought I would post what I did. Just in case others are interested

PHP Code:
<?

require_once 'rss_fetch.inc';

// Section 1

echo '<table cellspacing="7" cellpadding="7" width="100%">';

// RSS 1

$url1 = 'URL TO RSS';
$num_items1 = 7;
$rss1 = fetch_rss($url1);

if ( $rss1 ) {

}
else {
   echo "Error reading news feed  " .
        "Check back later" .
        "<br>Error Message: " . magpie_error();
}

echo '<tr>';
echo '<td valign="top">';
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;Source: <b>", $rss1->channel['title'], "</b><p>\n";
$items1 = array_slice($rss1->items, 0, $num_items1);
foreach ( $items1 as $item1 ) {
    $title1 = substr($item1[title], 0, 50);
        //$title1 = $item1[title];
        $url1   = $item1[link];
    echo "? <a href=$url1>$title1</a></li><br>\n";
}
echo '</td>';
echo '<td valign="top">';

// RSS 2

$url2 = 'URL TO RSS';
$num_items2 = 7;
$rss2 = fetch_rss($url2);

if ( $rss2 ) {

}
else {
   echo "Error reading news feed  " .
        "Check back later" .
        "<br>Error Message: " . magpie_error();
}


echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;Source: <b>", $rss2->channel['title'], "</b><p>\n";
$items2 = array_slice($rss2->items, 0, $num_items2);
foreach ( $items2 as $item2 ) {
    $title2 = substr($item2[title], 0, 50);
        //$title2 = $item2[title];
    $url2   = $item2[link];
    echo "? <a href=$url2>$title2</a></li><br>\n";
}
echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>';

// Section 2

echo '<table cellspacing="7" cellpadding="7" width="100%">';

// RSS 3

$url3 = ' URL TO RSS';
$num_items3 = 7;
$rss3 = fetch_rss($url3);

if ( $rss3 ) {

}
else {
   echo "Error reading news feed  " .
        "Check back later" .
        "<br>Error Message: " . magpie_error();
}

echo '<tr>';
echo '<td valign="top">';
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;Source: <b>", $rss3->channel['title'], "</b><p>\n";
$items3 = array_slice($rss3->items, 0, $num_items3);
foreach ( $items3 as $item3 ) {
    $title3 = substr($item3[title], 0, 50);
        //$title3 = $item3[title];
    $url3   = $item3[link];
    echo "? <a href=$url3>$title3</a></li><br>\n";
}
echo '</td>';
echo '<td valign="top">';

// RSS 4

$url4 = 'URL TO RSS';
$num_items4 = 7;
$rss4 = fetch_rss($url4);

if ( $rss4 ) {

}
else {
   echo "Error reading news feed  " .
        "Check back later" .
        "<br>Error Message: " . magpie_error();
}


echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;Source: <b>", $rss4->channel['title'], "</b><p>\n";
$items4 = array_slice($rss4->items, 0, $num_items4);
foreach ( $items4 as $item4 ) {
    $title4 = substr($item4[title], 0, 50);
        //$title4 = $item4[title];
    $url4   = $item4[link];
    echo "? <a href=$url4>$title4</a></li><br>\n";
}
echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>';

?>
