OPML Sampling Part 3: OPML2RSS and Keyword2RSS via Gada.be

Dec

This is the last in a series of experimental proof of concept scripts for messing with OPML via PHP. Between this and the other bits, quite a few combinations are possible.

At any rate, this script does a straight OPML to RSS conversion. It just shoves all of the items from each feed into an derivative feed. This script was intended primarily to allow me to build one big feed of all of the places I post.

The second part is intended to get a quick overview of the content for a given keyword. As I explore creating new blogs, I frequently want this kind of quick overview. Feed it a word like "PHP" and it uses gada.be to get an OPML feed that gets passed to the OPML2RSS script.

You can mess with this sample and get the code from the experiment the OPML2RSS and Gada.be Demo page.

If you combined this with the initial script that uses Yahoo to pick out the most linked item, you'd get RSS output instead of HTML output. From here, I'm going to focus for a while on the content harvesting and analysis layers before looking at the output again.
