RSS Feeds for PHP is a very small, lightweight, and easy-to-use library for consuming an RSS feed.

It requires PHP 7.1 or newer with cURL installed on the system, and is licensed under the MIT License.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require joelwmale/rss-feed-php

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Download RSS feed from URL:

```

$feed = RSSFeedPHP::load($url);
```

Elements are returned as `SimpleXMLElement` objects, with the outter most object being an std::class.

```
echo 'Title: ', $feed->title;
echo 'Description: ', $feed->description;
echo 'Link: ', $feed->link;

foreach ($feed->item as $item) {
	echo 'Title: ', $item->title;
	echo 'Link: ', $item->link;
	echo 'Date: ', $item->date;
	echo 'Description ', $item->description;
	echo 'HTML encoded content: ', $item->{'content:encoded'};
}
```

A helper class is available if you wish to convert it to an array instead:

```
use joelwmale\RSSFeedPHP;

$feed = RSSFeedPHP::load($url);
$feed->toArray();
```

```
