Description

Retrieves an RSS feed and parses it. Uses the MagpieRSS and RSSCache functions for parsing and automatic caching and the Snoopy HTTP client for the actual retrieval.

Deprecated note: Switch to using fetch_feed instead.

Usage

 <?php
include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
$rss = fetch_rss($uri);
?> 

Parameters

$uri
(URI) (required) The URI of the RSS feed you want to retrieve. The resulting parsed feed is returned, with the more interesting and useful bits in the items array.
Default: Nonerray.

Example

To get and display a list of links for an existing RSS feed, limiting the selection to the most recent 5 items:


<h2><?php _e('Headlines from AP News'); ?></h2>
<?php // Get RSS Feed(s)
include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
$rss = fetch_rss('http://example.com/rss/feed/goes/here');
$maxitems = 5;
$items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, $maxitems);
?>

<ul>
<?php if (empty($items)) echo '<li>No items</li>';
else
foreach ( $items as $item ) : ?>
<li><a href='<?php echo $item['link']; ?>' 
title='<?php echo $item['title']; ?>'>
<?php echo $item['title']; ?>
</a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
