Latest Blogs on a non WP page

[JamieJelly]

Okay, so I would like the latest blog entries summarised on my homepage, similar to how it is done over at SP.

Is there a script out there to do this for me? I'm sure it's not hard, just a bit of PHP and XML but was wondering if there was a quick fix for me

You mean kinda like what's set up here also on the main page? www.v7n.com

Colleen probably knows.

[JamieJelly]

yeah exactly that!

I'm just gonna upgrade my server to PHP 5 so I can use simpleXML and write something super quick.

I'm sure I will find out after it is a lot easier than that.

[JamieJelly]

ok anybody that may need to do this, this is how I did it. You will need PHP5 to use simpleXML.

PHP Code:

<?php

    $rssfeed = simplexml_load_file('http://www.feedlocation.com/file.rss');
    
    $items = 5; // number of entries to display
    
    echo '<ul>';
    for($i=0;$i<$items;$i++)
    {
        echo '<li><a href="' . htmlentities($rssfeed->item[$i]->link) . '">';
        echo $rssfeed->channel->item[$i]->title . '</a><br />';
        echo $rssfeed->channel->item[$i]->description . '</li>';
    }
    echo '</ul>';

?>
