Some universities like Southern California, Harvard and Michigan State have their web-guru’s explain to us how rss feeds work with the elegant Magpie parser demo :<\/p>\n
Some example on how to use Magpie:<\/p>\n
* magpie_simple.php *
\nSimple example of fetching and parsing an RSS file. Expects to be
\ncalled with a query param ‘rss_url=http:\/\/(some rss file)’
\n….<\/p>\n* magpie_debug.php *
\nDisplays all the information available from a parsed feed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNote : magpie_debug.php is the one to watch for, you can do a google search on :<\/p>\n
site:.edu magpie_debug.php<\/strong><\/center>
\nand you get a number of educational facilities that kindly demonstrate the use of the magpie rss parser.<\/p>\nThese demo pages have a textbox where you can enter an rss feed url, the magpie demo parses your feed and outputs it as an html-page.<\/p>\n
You have to be careful with these programs, though : I actually found one domain (www.scripps.edu) with this remark under the ‘parse rss’ button :<\/p>\n
Security Note:
\nThis is a simple example script. If this was a real script we probably wouldn’t allow strangers to submit random URLs, and we certainly wouldn’t simply echo anything passed in the URL. Additionally its a bad idea to leave this example script lying around.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThank you, you are surely wise like the buddha, I shall try to remember your insight !<\/p>\n
