Podcast Feed Parser
===================

[](#podcast-feed-parser)

A PHP library for parsing Podcast XML/RSS feeds.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Get channel metadata, such as the title and description
- Retrieve a list of the episodes
- Supports iTunes metadata such as categories
- Get artwork and media files
- Sort episodes by their publication date, episode number or split into seasons

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require lukaswhite/php-feed-parser
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Lukaswhite\PodcastFeedParser\Parser;

$parser = Parser();
$parser->load('/path/to/feed/feed.rss');
$podcast = $parser->run();
```

or

```
$parser = Parser();
$parser->setContent(/** raw content */);
$podcast = $parser->run();
```

The `run()` method returns an instance of the `Podcast` class, on which the `getEpisodes()` method returns a collection of the podcast episodes.

Simple Example
--------------

```
$podcast = $parser->run();
$id = $db->insert(
    'podcasts',
    [
        'title' =>  $podcast->getTitle(),
        'description' => $podcast->getDescription(),
        'artwork' => $podcast->getArtwork()->getUri(),
    ]
);

foreach($podcast->getEpisodes() as $episode) {
    $db->insert(
        'episodes',
        [
            'podcast_id' => $id,
            'guid' => $episode->getGuid(),
            'title' =>  $episode->getTitle(),
            'description' => $episode->getDescription(),
            'media_uri' => $podcast->getMedia()->getUri(),
        ]
    );
}

return $podcast->getEpisodes()->mostRecent();
```
