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][what_is].

|
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][dev_compiled] (this is kept up-to-date with the latest
|
|
code from Git).
|
|
|
|

|
|

|

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