SimpleXML in action

One of the basic usage of simpleXML, which I find quite useful is to grab the links of latest post the of RSS enabled site.

Here’s How:

I will be using the links to my site…

<?php
$feed = 'http://gumz-ex-press.com/feed/';//You can replace the website
$contents = file_get_contents($feed);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($contents);
foreach($xml->channel->item as $feeditem){
  ?>
  <a href="<?php echo $feeditem->link;?>"><?php echo $feeditem->title; ?></a><br />
  <?php
}
?>

You can include the description as you like by adding $feeditem->description after break.

<?php
$feed = 'http://gumz-ex-press.com/feed/';//You can replace the site
$contents = file_get_contents($feed);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($contents);
foreach($xml->channel->item as $feeditem){
  ?>
  <a href="<?php echo $feeditem->link;?>"><?php echo $feeditem->title; ?></a><br />
  <?php echo $feeditem->description;//add description
}
?>
