|
 |
I've been trying to get this script working, but there's one problem that I can't get past.
It's supposed to fetch the last 5 entries from the specified RSS feed and write the data to a text file (rss.txt). Unfortunately it seems as though each line overwrites the previous one, so only one entry is recorded instead of 5.
Here's the script.
| Code: |
<?php require_once('rss_fetch.inc'); ?>
<?php
$rss = fetch_rss('http://feeddit.com/topics/apple.atom');
$items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 5);
foreach ($items as $item) {
$href = $item['link'];
$out = fopen('rss.txt', 'w') or die('Cannot create output file');
fwrite($out, $href);
}
fclose($out);
;
?>
|
I think I need a "\n" in there somewhere, but I'm not sure and I've tried all that I can think of. Any ideas?

use fopen('rss.txt', 'w+') instead of fopen('rss.txt', 'w')

and open the file only once, if you do that you don't need to append instead of overwriting (w+ insteand just w):
| Code: | <?php require_once('rss_fetch.inc'); ?>
<?php
$rss = fetch_rss('http://feeddit.com/topics/apple.atom');
$items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 5);
$out = fopen('rss.txt', 'w') or die('Cannot create output file');
foreach ($items as $item) {
$href = $item['link'];
fwrite($out, $href);
}
fclose($out);
?>
|
the original script kept reopening the file for every item and the file was opened in overwrite mode, deleting it's contents every time.
