lastRSS Update - PHP RSS Parser/Reader

Filed Under: Downloads Author: Gary Hess

I have been using lastRSS for a while in order to parse the RSS feeds on my site. However, I have recently discovered it doesn’t do everything I would like it to do.

I needed something that would allow me to show only a certain amount of characters for each file and no more in order to keep the design intact. So, instead of creating a new parser or finding another one, I decided to branch off of lastRSS and program what I want myself.

I am keeping the name so far (until told otherwise at least), and making this v0.9.5.

The program works basically the same, however, you may now decide how many characters you wish to use by adding the line:

$rss->char_limit = 200;

With 200 equalling the number of characters you wish to use. However, if you do not wish to limit the amount of characters, you may simply skip this step or place a 0 where the characters would be.

For an example of the new lastRSS parser, view this page.

And as always, you may view more examples by visiting http://lastrss.webdot.cz/.

Examples of how to use the program are in the readme.txt file.
