SimplePie

SimplePie is a very fast and easy-to-use class, written in PHP, that puts the 'simple' back into 'really simple syndication'. Flexible enough to suit beginners and veterans alike, SimplePie is focused on speed, ease of use, compatibility and standards compliance.

Requirements

• PHP 5.2.0 or newer
• libxml2 (certain 2.7.x releases are too buggy for words, and will crash)
• Either the iconv or mbstring extension
• cURL or fsockopen()
• PCRE support

If you're looking for PHP 4.x support, pull the "one-dot-two" branch, as that's the last version to support PHP 4.x.

What comes in the package?

1. library/ - SimplePie classes for use with the autoloader
2. autoloader.php - The SimplePie Autoloader if you want to use the separate file version.
3. README.markdown - This document.
4. LICENSE.txt - A copy of the BSD license.
5. compatibility_test/ - The SimplePie compatibility test that checks your server for required settings.
6. demo/ - A basic feed reader demo that shows off some of SimplePie's more noticeable features.
7. idn/ - A third-party library that SimplePie can optionally use to understand Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).
8. build/ - Scripts related to generating pieces of SimplePie
9. test/ - SimplePie's unit test suite.

Where's simplepie.inc?

For SimplePie 1.3, we've split the classes into separate files to make it easier to maintain and use.

If you'd like a single monolithic file, you can run php build/compile.php to generate SimplePie.compiled.php, or grab a copy from dev.simplepie.org (this is kept up-to-date with the latest code from Git).

To start the demo

1. Upload this package to your webserver.
2. Make sure that the cache folder inside of the demo folder is server-writable.
3. Navigate your browser to the demo folder.
