PHP Script to combine all of the rss feeds associated with Destination Linux Network into a single RSS feed. This is basic procedural PHP

• Each RSS feed of the DLN Network is read.
• Each <item> (podcast episode details) is stored in a master array.
• Each <title> of each has the title of the podcast added as some titles don't have the name of the podcast (the lack of uniformity is noted)
• The master array is sorted by published date of each individual podcast
• A boiler plate header which includes the xml namespace specs of the various podcasts is added to the new RSS feed
• A custom header is created for the new RSS feed -- NOTE: the contents of rawvoice needs to be reviewed
• Each (podcast details) is added by date to the new RSS feed
• The footer of the RSS feed is added to the new RSS feed.
• an xlm file will be generated into the specified folder
• add a line to the crontab on the server to run this script on an hourly basis. Such as:

  • 00 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/markcain/public_html/feed/generate_master_rss.php
