Project Detail

Description

We need a simple php script to read RSS feed (Wordpress Feed), parse it and display.

Apply only after completing this project on your server. Make it live on your server and provide URL in the PMB.

Don't bid if you can't write this script in advance and show to us the demo.

Following are the pseudo code

/*****************************
Filename: display.php

Description: This file dislays the RSS feed content, title and content
******************************/

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />

<?php include("feedreader.php"); ?>

<ul class="feed">
<li>Title of the post goes here</li>
The content of the post goes here, limited to max_chars
<li>Title of the post goes here</li>
The content of the post goes here, limited to max_chars
<li>Title of the post goes here</li>
The content of the post goes here, limited to max_chars
</ul>

/*****************************
Filename: feedreader.php

Description: This file reads the RSS feed, parses it and does other work.
******************************/

// Wordpress Feed URL
$feed_url = "http://www.any-wordpress-blog.com/feed";

// Number of posts to read from feed.
$num_posts = 5;

// if 1 then dislay the post content, if 0 then dislay only post title
$display_post_content = 0;

// Maximum number of characters to be displayed in the content if display_post_content is 1
$content_max_char= 120;

// Do the work, read the RSS Feed, parse it and store the title in $title and description in $desc variable

/*****************************
Filename: style.css
******************************/
.feed ul {margin: 0;padding: 0;}
.feed ul li {list-style:none;}

Few things
1) The post title would be obviously a link to the post
2) We have 1&1 host and AFAIK they don't support simpleXML
3) Our host is on PHP4
4) Provide a box in demo URL where we can enter any feed URL and test it on fly.

Final Terms and Conditions for selecting the provider

1) All the work would be our copyright and we can use it any manners we want
2) We will intergate it in our website and if any error found you will provide support.
3) In case it doesn't work on our host you will be providing either fix or workaround or you will have to develop it again from scratch to be supported on our host. Host uses PHP4.
