If this is difficult:

PHP Code:

<?php
    require_once "class.FeedReader.php";

    $feed  = "path-to-xml-file";
    $data = array();

    try {
        $main = new FeedReader($feed);

        # Check to see if the feed was successfully loaded
        if ( ! $main->loaded )
            throw new Exception('The feed could not be loaded');

        # Get data
        else $data = $main->GetAll();
    }
    # Display or log error
    catch(Exception $e) { exit($e->GetMessage()); }

    if (count($data) > 0)
    {
        foreach ($data as $entry)
        {
            echo 'build your output html here';
        }
    }
    
?>

then...I don't know what to say, really...

Yes it is... I would like to add many feeds and then i want the script to create custom pages for each feed and maybe show them all on index page...

I want it to be simple as loging into admin pannel and pasting link into a field and pressing add or something

I just do not know the code m8, sory

Well, you asked for a script so we programmers usually come up with code

If you can't code maybe instead of a script what you need is a content management system.

Check out Joomla, Wordpress, those allow you to set them up without any programming skills and have plugins or addons to aggregate feeds.

[Newbe]

can you please give me a link to wordpress plugin that agregate feed well? I was looking for one for a long time till now...

[Hades]

I think one of these should do it:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...ch-aggregator/

Not sure though because I don't use WP and found them through searching.

Tip for searching,
In the plugin search page try using the keywords: aggregate, syndication, feed, rss and some interesting results will come up.

Newbe,
Wordpress creates RSS feeds as part of the blogging software.

If you choose a different CMS, they probably already have this feature also, without looking for a plugin.

By your title and question, I think maybe you are a little confused about RSS?

RSS reader: Software that reads the RSS feeds from websites and blogs. This can be a piece of software installed on your machine or an online service like Google's RSS reader.

RSS feed: a file on your website/blog that shows your latest updates to the website/blog. The RSS feed readers use this file to keep up to date with the website/blog.

I think he's not looking for a tool to create feeds, but rather to aggregate them from different websites into his. I'm not sure WP vanilla has that feature out of the box.
