revjim.net: feedParser – An RSS parser in PHP.

feedParser was created due to the lack of a good, flexable, classed based RSS feed parser for PHP. It has been built as a class and currently handles RSS 0.91, RSS 0.92, RSS 0.93, RSS 1.0, and RSS 2.0 feeds. For channels it grabs the title, description, link, and creator. For items it grabs the title, description, link, and date. It also provides a form of the date converted into the local timezone to facilitate cronological sorting of items. The dates are provided in UNIX timestamp format for easy manipulation by other PHP functions.

Inside Cork – *sigh* I was in blackrock taking photos last September and saw this boat. I should have taken a photo but there were 3 men talking and looking at me strangely so I didn’t.

Anyway, I wanted to link to this story about the Army Ordnance Corps in Cork. It’s a well written and interesting look at the bomb disposal squad. Unfortunately Inside Cork don’t provide recent archives of material so this link will be about something different next Thursday so read it ASAP!
