Integrating SimplePie RSS

[eluser]Jezz[/eluser]
Hello All,

I have need of some RSS parsing stuff in my first ever CI project and was wondering what the best method was.

I was planning to just import simple pie, and see that this has already been done by others within CI:

I was just wondering if this the best approach... or whether anyone has some other resources they would be able to share?

Thanks, Jez

Just put it into your libraries directory as Simplepie.php

And then load it like any other library:

Code:

$this->load->library('simplepie');

And then use it like this:

Code:

$this->simplepie->set_feed_url($url)

As far as I remember that's all I did, didn't change anything else.

Hi guys!, what if I need not only to parse a RSS Feed, but to automatically generate it from data stored in a DB? does SimplePie allow me to do this? (obviously, the data will need to be transformed by a controller into a RSS view file).

Have a look at building-an-rss-feed-in-code-igniter.
