> PHP library reading and creating RSS

**disclaimer:**This class is functional. Anyway, use it only if you don't have other choices.
For example, [Zend](http://framework.zend.com/manual/current/en/modules/zend.feed.introduction.html) and Symfony got their own RSS factory, don't add another one in.

🚀 Usage

How to make it read RSS?

First, we need to load the RSS :

```
$rss = SRSS::read('http://exemple.com/rss.xml');

```

Easy, right? Then you can extract general information :

```
echo $rss->title; // will display blog title

```

Then, you can take care of articles. You can select a precise article :

```
$article1 = $rss->getItem(1); // or $rss->getFirst();

```

Or looping them :

```
foreach($rss as $article) {
    echo ''. SRSSTools::formatDate('d/m/y', $item->pubDate).' '.$item->title.'';
}

```

If you like arrays, you can transform the RSS into an array :

```
$rssArray = $rss->toArray();

```

You can also save it into your server with :

```
$rss->save('/www/rss/rss.xml'); // example

```

Or finally, you can display it with :

```
$rss->show();

```

How to make it create RSS?

First, we need to initialize the RSS :

```
$rss = SRSS::create();

```

Easy, right? Then you can add general information :

```
$rss->title = 'My Awesome Blog';
$rss->link = 'http://shikiryu.com/devblog/';
$rss->description = 'is awesome';

```

Those 3 are mandatory to validate your RSS, other options can be added. Then, you can add articles. Let's imagine $content contains an array from your database.

```
foreach($content as $item){
    $rssitem = new Item(); // we create an item
    $rssitem->title = $item["title"]; // adding title (option)
    $rssitem->link = $item['link']; // adding link (option)
    $rssitem->pubDate = $item["date"]; // date automatically transformed into RSS format (option)
    $rssitem->description = $item["text"]; // adding description (mandatory)
    $rss->addItem($rssitem); // we add the item into our RSS
}

```

There are 2 functions to add item. The first one will add items in the order you enter them, from top to bottom.

```
$rss->addItem($item);

```

The other one does the opposite and add the next item in top of your RSS

```
$rss->addItemBefore($item);

```
