Reading any well-formed RSS/ATOM file using PHP

Question

I want to be able to read any well-formed RSS/ATOM file. That would mean I would not not know the tags, start the loop and the fields. How do I go about doing it in PHP.

Thanks Jean

Do you want to read any random well-formed RSS/ATOM file?

You can try Zend Framework's feed class.

But you should be more specific about your task..

I want to be able to do it from scratch without the assistance of any frameworks, would it be possible?

Sure it is possible :) If you say that you want to read well formated rss/atom feed, first what you want to do is examine rss/atom specifications ( cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html / rss-specifications.com / atomenabled.org/developers/syndication/atom-format-spec.php ) and then write your own class/parser.

You can use SimpleXML http://php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-string.php
