RSS parsing with PHP
Posted : Tuesday January 6th, 2009

I've been looking for a bit for a decent RSS parser in PHP and I think I found one called Magpie. I've also been on the hunt for portlet style stuff with PHP as well.

One of the problems I find with PHP is that there is alot of stuff out there freely available but much of it either doesn't work at all, or doesn't work the way you need. I had the same issues when I was generating PDFs on the fly in PHP. It can be done and there are libraries but it tends to be grossly complex and fragile.

Well, we'll see how Magpie goes.
