Creating RSS Feed

[look4game]

Hey there!

I have a PHP / MySQL site which has news in HTML format. How can I make a RSS Feed of these news, so that it goes like this http://news.com.com/2547-1_3-0-5.xml ? I want this because I have a vbulletin board, and I want to insert the news there. I think the only way is through RSS, right?

So, how can I do this?

Thank You.

Anybody knows how to do this? (or how they do that?)

Just study how theirs works and then write a simple script that writes to a file and save it as feedname.rss

It's pretty simple, do it just like yout output html on your page,

@unlink("rssfeed.xml");
$handle = fopen("rssfeed.xml","w");
fwrite($handle, $payload);
fclose($handle);

Unlink deletes the file so that you can write cleanly, the @ is so that it won't print any errors.

$payload is the text you want to print into the file.
