Just me learning about SimpleXML and RSS and Atom. Maybe even write
something I'll actually use.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
php5 (with simplexml)
mysql
crontab access
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
copy all files over to wherever you want to host your reader.
from that location, move config-example.php to config.php.
edit config.php and enter the correct mysql database information.
point your webbrowser to http://<yoursiteurl>/<sourlocation>/install.php
fill out information.
you need to add to your crontab two wget calls:
one to update the database:
*/20 * * * * wget -q http://<yoursiteurl>/<sourlocation>/rssatom.php -O /dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1
one to purge old articles:
0 0 * * * wget -q http://<yoursiteurl>/<sourlocation>/purgeold.php -O /dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1
enjoy.
Have fun. This is a tool I will keep tweaking and playing with to learn. So,
check the github repo for updates:
