Newbie to RSS

[rosegarden]

I have a website with a database of jobs opportunities that I would like to create a RSS feed so that others can post these jobs on their sites.

I do not completely understand all the "parts" needed for the process. If someone could explain the step by step process that needs to happen, it may clear my head.

Also, I was sent sample scripts by a friend of a third party. The builder is in php but the readers are in asp. I do not have access to a server with asp. I will need a php version so that I can figure out what I am doing.

Thanks....

Ok so you wana now how to read the rss feeds?

this is very easy using [man]SimpleXML[/man]

say you had a feed like this,

<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
  <title>This is my news broadcast</title>
  <link>http://mysite.com/mylistofjobs.php</link>
  <desc>this is a list of jobs in the local area.</desc>
<item>
  <title>Php programmer</title>
  <link>http://mysite.com/phpjob.htm</link>
  <desc>Starting ASAP Zend certification prefered.</desc>
</item>
<item>
  <title>C# programmer</title>
  <link>http://mysite.com/perljob.htm</link>
  <desc>blah</desc>
</item>
</channel>

all youd need to do is

<?

$rss = simplexml_load_file( "http://mysite.com/feeds/jobs.rss" ) ;

$channel = $rss -> channel;

echo 'Title: '.$channel->title.',<br />';
echo 'Link: '.$channel->link.'<br />';
echo 'Description: '$channel->desc.'<br />';

foreach ($channel->item as $item) {
echo 'Job: '.$item->title.'<br />';
echo 'link: '.$item->link.'<br />';
echo 'description: '.$item->desc.'<br />';
}

?>
