In this post i want to explain how to create rss feeds using php code and get the data from mysql table. It is very simple to develop and use.
Step 1 : Connect to database
We already discussed about how to connect database using php code.See the following code to connect database:
Code
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | <?php DEFINE ('DB_USER', 'root'); DEFINE ('DB_PASSWORD', 'root'); DEFINE ('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); DEFINE ('DB_NAME', 'rss'); // Make the connnection and then select the database. $dbc = @mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD) OR die ('Could not connect to MySQL: ' . mysql_error() ); mysql_select_db (DB_NAME) OR die ('Could not select the database: ' . mysql_error() ); ?> |
By using about code we can connect to database sucessfully.

<?php
class RSS
{
public function RSS()
{
require_once ('mysql_connect.php');
}
public function GetFeed()
{
return $this->getDetails() . $this->getItems();
}
private function dbConnect()
{
DEFINE ('LINK', mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD));
}
private function getDetails()
{
$detailsTable = "webref_rss_details";
$this->dbConnect($detailsTable);
$query = "SELECT * FROM ". $detailsTable;
$result = mysql_db_query (DB_NAME, $query, LINK);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$details = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<rss version="2.0">

<link>'. $row['link'] .'</link>

}
return $details;
}
private function getItems()
{
$itemsTable = "webref_rss_items";
$this->dbConnect($itemsTable);
$query = "SELECT * FROM ". $itemsTable;
$result = mysql_db_query (DB_NAME, $query, LINK);
$items = '';

return $items;
}
}
?>
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 | <?php class RSS { public function RSS() { require_once ('mysql_connect.php'); } public function GetFeed() { return $this->getDetails() . $this->getItems(); } private function dbConnect() { DEFINE ('LINK', mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD)); } private function getDetails() { $detailsTable = "webref_rss_details"; $this->dbConnect($detailsTable); $query = "SELECT * FROM ". $detailsTable; $result = mysql_db_query (DB_NAME, $query, LINK); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $details = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>'. $row['title'] .'</title> <link>'. $row['link'] .'</link> <description>'. $row['description'] .'</description> <language>'. $row['language'] .'</language> <image> <title>'. $row['image_title'] .'</title> <url>'. $row['image_url'] .'</url> <link>'. $row['image_link'] .'</link> <width>'. $row['image_width'] .'</width> <height>'. $row['image_height'] .'</height> </image>'; } return $details; } private function getItems() { $itemsTable = "webref_rss_items"; $this->dbConnect($itemsTable); $query = "SELECT * FROM ". $itemsTable; $result = mysql_db_query (DB_NAME, $query, LINK); $items = ''; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $items .= '<item> <title>'. $row["title"] .'</title> <link>'. $row["link"] .'</link> <description><![CDATA['. $row["description"] .']]></description> </item>'; } $items .= '</channel> </rss>'; return $items; } } ?> |
By using about code we can create a class for rss feed.
Step3: Create a object to class and display rss feeds.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | <?php header("Content-Type: application/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1"); include("classes/RSS.class.php"); $rss = new RSS(); echo $rss->GetFeed(); ?> |
Hope that it will be useful.
