Looking for simple rss feed reader

Question

Could you recommend a good php rss feed reader class?

I have been doing reasearch for a few hours and managed to waste my time with a few badly built rss feed reading classes. Now I am out of patience

Im sure one of the good people on SO knows of a simple rss feed reader class that I can use

I am using smarty templates and would like to read this feed http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/Templates/Planet3/Handlers/RssHandler.ashx?type=blog&blogid=7156&epslanguage=en-US]

Edit: Something very strange is happening. I have set up simplepie and run the demo page at /demo/index.php. It shows other feeds but won't show the uri that I am passing to it. What's even stranger is that that uri does work on the demo page of the simplepie site. I dont get any error messages or anything, just no results.

Answer 1

Try SimplePie; it's easy to use, supports caching to minimise bandwidth wastage, etc.

Answer 2

Here is a client side solution (jQuery).

Hope this gets you started.

Answer 3

I like Magpie RSS for a PHP solution.
