RSS-feed

I just wrote a small script that creates an RSS-feed. It's mainly used to manage all my bookmarks in Firefox, so if I change my bookmarks on one computer, all my computers get the update.

Of course, you can use it to serve news or whatever you want on your website.

You can download it from:

Of course you'll need to edit rss.php and admin.php before you can use it.
Feel free to use it however you want.

Tell me what you think.

***EDIT:
Uploaded an update, a bit easier to configure.

Nice; simple and clean.
I've not played with RSS much, I use XML a lot, but never bothered with my own feed. I'm sure a lot of people will benefit.

In the <head> section of your index page put:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
title="Subscribe to MyFeed" href="http://domain.com/myfeed.xml">

In Firefox and IE7 this will allow users to click on the orange feed icon and add your feed. myfeed,xml should have the format:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rss version="2.0">

<channel>

<title>DMX Changes</title>
<description>Recent program change log entries</description>
<link>http://edmxtech.co.uk/document/changes.htm</link>

<item>
<title>DMXEFAX/PRINT XML Stream mode 2006-08-27</title>
<description>STREAM keyword for !XMLMODE</description>
<link>http://edmxtech.co.uk/document/changes.htm/#060827</link>
</item>

... more items ....

</channel>

</rss>

Obviously you need to change the text and references in myfeed.xml. I have just supplied a cut down example of the feed for software updates at my site; which in its turn was created more to play with an RSS feed than for any useful purpose.
