Hello!

I would like to know more about RSS.
I have read on wikipedia that RSS subpage needs to be read by some RSS
reader applications.
So can you tell me how RSS web subpage should technically look like and what
things I should
implemenet to make my RSS subpage read by RSS reader applications?
The only thing I know is that subpage should be right XML formatted.
What more?

Thank you in advance
M.

Just choose your desired version, and make sure the output is well
formed/valid XML.
Add a link tag to an HTML document to inform software there's an rss
alternative.
Possibly use an xslt stylesheet for those people reading the feed directly
in the browser.
Any XML package in PHP would make your live easier setting the feed up, I
prefer DOM.

Yes, RSS is XML but there are several versions of RSS, each with
different structure details.

If you want to generate RSS easily, you may want to try to use this RSS
writer class:
