Hi, Anyone know of a PHP based RSS to email gateway. What I'm looking to do is have something running on my website that provides an interface for specifying some feeds, and these are subsequently checked every hour or so. If a new news item is found, it fires off an email to me. Basically want this since I check my email often, but not so much my RSS reader which is tucked away in IE7, which I don't use so much now since I'm doing a lot of canvas stuff. If no-one knows of one, presumably Magpie could be used to create one?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you use grab and parse the rss feeds you want, store the titles in a database, with a column for identifying if the e-mail has been sent? So every hour it checks your feeds, grabs the new ones, checks to see if emailSent="1" if not pass it to send_notification($email, $feedname, $feedtitle).
Or am I missing something? :) -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc. Technology Manager MQC Specialist 11287 James St Holland, MI 49424 www.raoset.com japruim@xxxxxxxxxx -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
