Need help with simple RSS praser

[Oracle Porn]

If anyone could help me that would be great
My tube sites have rss feeds and I want to list latest videos on other sites, I need something simple and hopefully with cache, I found simpleRSS script but I couldn't get it to work probebly because I'm a noob at those things
If anyone could help me that would be great, I can pay a few bucks if needed, icq is in my sig.

Post your RSS URL here and I'll look at it.

That's very easy. My code below (juts a few lines of PHP) will do the trick.

<?php
$feed = file_get_contents ( "http://nubilestube.com/rss.php?location=most_recent" );
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create ();
xml_parse_into_struct ( $xml_parser, $feed, $vals, $index );
$cnt = count ( $index ["TITLE"] );
for($i = 1; $i < $cnt; $i ++) {
	echo "<h3>" . html_entity_decode ( $vals [$index ["TITLE"] [$i]] ["value"], ENT_QUOTES ) . "</h3>\n";
	echo "<p>" . html_entity_decode ( $vals [$index ["DESCRIPTION"] [$i]] ["value"], ENT_QUOTES ) . "</p>\n";
}
xml_parser_free ( $xml_parser );
?>

simple and effective code ;)

thank you
it works, although a bit slow because there's no caching
how do I limit number of items parsed?

[just a punk]

Here is the same code but with hourly cashing:

<?php
$feed = file_get_contents ( "http://nubilestube.com/rss.php?location=most_recent" );
$filename = "cache.txt";
if (file_exists ( $filename ) && (time () - filectime ( $filename )) < 60 * 60) {
	$content = file_get_contents ( $filename );
} else {
	$xml_parser = xml_parser_create ();
	xml_parse_into_struct ( $xml_parser, $feed, $vals, $index );
	$cnt = count ( $index ["TITLE"] );
	$content = "";
	for($i = 1; $i < $cnt; $i ++) {
		$content .= "<h3>" . html_entity_decode ( $vals [$index ["TITLE"] [$i]] ["value"], ENT_QUOTES ) . "</h3>\n";
		$content .= "<p>" . html_entity_decode ( $vals [$index ["DESCRIPTION"] [$i]] ["value"], ENT_QUOTES ) . "</p>\n";
	}
	file_put_contents($filename, $content, LOCK_EX);
	xml_parser_free ( $xml_parser );
}
echo $content;
?>

You just need to create the empty file "cache.txt" and chmod it to 666.

Can't be easier, right?

See above.

Easily, simple replace this line:
$cnt = count ( $index ["TITLE"] );

to this one:
$cnt = min ( 5, count ( $index ["TITLE"] ) );

where 5 is your limit.

This one doesn't work for me

[just a punk]

What's wrong with it? Did you create the "cache.txt" file and chmoded it properly?

[Oracle Porn]

Yes I created the cache.txt file in the same folder and chmoded it to 666 (also tried 777)
Just outputs a blank page.

[just a punk]

Ah, now i see the problem. It's because the cache file is initially blank and it will update only after a hour

Here is a slightly fixed code:

<?php
$feed = file_get_contents ( "http://nubilestube.com/rss.php?location=most_recent" );
$filename = "cache.txt";
if (file_exists ( $filename ) && filesize ( $filename ) && (time () - filectime ( $filename )) < 60 * 60) {
	$content = file_get_contents ( $filename );
} else {
	$xml_parser = xml_parser_create ();
	xml_parse_into_struct ( $xml_parser, $feed, $vals, $index );
	$cnt = min ( 5, count ( $index ["TITLE"] ) );
	$content = "";
	for($i = 1; $i < $cnt; $i ++) {
		$content .= "<h3>" . html_entity_decode ( $vals [$index ["TITLE"] [$i]] ["value"], ENT_QUOTES ) . "</h3>\n";
		$content .= "<p>" . html_entity_decode ( $vals [$index ["DESCRIPTION"] [$i]] ["value"], ENT_QUOTES ) . "</p>\n";
	}
	file_put_contents ( $filename, $content, LOCK_EX );
	xml_parser_free ( $xml_parser );
}
echo $content;
?>
