Get News From Rss Feeds

Recommended Posts

First, take a look at the following website:http://www.toffeeweb.com/Underneath the navigation on the right hand side, they have some latest news stories from other websites flashing on and off the screen. I'm guessing they get these headlines from RSS feeds, but how would I go about getting something similar to what this website is using?Here are some of the feeds I would use:http://www.skysports.com/rss/0,20514,11672,00.xmlhttp://www.goal.com/en/feeds/team-news?id=100&fmt=rsshttp://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/wanderers/wanderersnews/rss/

Ok. I found that link very useful, but you can only use one feed at once without storing the feeds in variables, like I've done with the code below:

<?phpdate_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');$selectfeed=rand(1, 3);$rss = new DOMDocument();if($selectfeed==1){	$name = "Sky Sports";	$rss->load("http://www.skysports.com/rss/0,20514,11672,00.xml");	}	if($selectfeed==2){	$name = "BBC Sport";	$rss->load("http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/sportonline_uk_edition/football/teams/b/bolton_wanderers/rss.xml");	}	if($selectfeed==3){	$name = "Vital Bolton";	$rss->load("http://www.vitalfootball.co.uk/rss.asp?t={4FC2D463-F1C2-4318-9292-2B1CBC8A5406}");	}$items = $rss->getElementsByTagName("item");foreach ($items as $item) {		$title = $item->getElementsByTagName("title")->item(0)->nodeValue;	$link = $item->getElementsByTagName("link")->item(0)->nodeValue;	$time = $item->getElementsByTagName("pubDate")->item(0)->nodeValue;		$time = date("j M g:i a", strtotime($time));		//DISPLAY TOP STORY	if($topstories < 1)	{		print "<a href=\"$link\" target=\"_blank\">$title</a> - $name - $time<br />	\n";	}		$topstories += 1;}?>

Would I be able to get news from all these feeds and have them merge into one. With the latest stories being based at the top, as the most recent.This website is something of an example, getting stories from a collection of websites:http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/...olton+Wanderers

Instead of immediately outputting the RSS items, you could store them in a multidimensional array, e.g.

	$time = $item->getElementsByTagName("pubDate")->item(0)->nodeValue;	$stories[$time]["title"] = $item->getElementsByTagName("title")->item(0)->nodeValue;	$stories[$time]["link"] = link = $item->getElementsByTagName("link")->item(0)->nodeValue;

Then you can use krsort() to sort the amalgamated items according to time, before looping through the array and printing everything out.
