Hello,
Using CI, my webapp has a home page that populates with data from the DB, think of it as a microbloggin clone.
How do I go about creating a rss feed for it?
Sorta new to PHP.
Thnx.

Thank you so much,
I actually tried googling it, but to no avail.
That will work perfectly.

Thanks for the instructions Derek. Works like a charm.
Just a small observation...Shouldnt we add at the top of the rss view the following :
Code:
header("Content-Type: text/xml");That because although the modern browsers render the xml document and present it, IE 6 (how bizzare !!!) cannot do this.
Thus if you try to open your rss feed link with IE 6 you will get an error message.
By adding the above, IE 6 will just display the xml document and not complain about the output of the script.

It depends on how "valid" you want your feed to be.

Quote:RSS feeds should be served as application/rss+xml (RSS 1.0 is an RDF format, so it may be served as application/rdf+xml instead). Atom feeds should use application/atom+xml. Alternatively, for compatibility with widely-deployed web browsers, any of these feeds can use one of the more general XML types - preferably application/xml.
