MagpieRSS 0.72

MagpieRSS provides an XML-based RSS parser in PHP. MagpieRSS is compatible with RSS 0.9 through RSS 1.0. Also parses RSS 1.0's modules, RSS 2.0, and Atom (with a few exceptions).Features: - Easy to Use As simple as: require('rss_fetch.inc'); $rss = fetch_rss($url); Parses RSS 0.9 - RSS 1.0 - Parses most RSS formats, including support for 1.0 modules and limited namespace support. RSS is packed into convenient data structures; easy to use in PHP, and appropriate for passing to a templating system, like Smarty. Integrated Object Cache - Caching the parsed RSS means that the 2nd request is fast, and that including the rss_fetch call in your PHP page won't destroy your performance, and force you to reply on an external cron job. And it happens transparently. HTTP Conditional GETs - Save bandwidth and speed up download times with intelligent use of Last-Modified and ETag. Configurable - Makes extensive use of constants to allow overriding default behaviour, and installation on shared hosts. Modular - rss_fetch.inc - wraps a simple interface (fetch_rss()) around the library. - rss_parse.inc - provides the RSS parser, and the RSS object - rss_cache.inc - a simple (no GC) object cache, optimized for RSS objects - rss_utils.inc - utility functions for working with RSS. currently provides parse_w3cdtf(), for parsing W3CDTF into epoch seconds. More - Secure - supports HTTP authentication, and SSL - Bandwidth friendly - supports transparent GZIP encoding to reduce bandwidth usage - Does not use fopen(), work even if allow_url_fopen is disabled.
