If anyone is  targeting yahoo rss feed may benefit from this snippet    lt  php      rssUrl  http   news yahoo com rss topstories                                                                   xml simplexml load file  rssUrl  or die  Error  Cannot create object                                                                    featureRss    array slice json decode json encode  array   xml     true    0       Just to see what is in it  use this function PrettyPrintArray    instead of var dump  featureRss          function PrettyPrintArray  rssData   level        foreach  rssData as  key   gt   Items        for  i   0   i  lt   level   i        echo   amp nbsp           if content more than one       if  is array  Items           Items htmlentities  Items         Items htmlspecialchars  Items       echo  Item     key       gt       Items     lt br  gt  lt br  gt               else            echo  key       gt   lt br  gt  lt br  gt         PrettyPrintArray  Items   level 1                         PrettyPrintArray  featureRss  0     gt    You may want to run it in your browser first to see what is there and before looping and style it up pretty simple   To grab the first item description   lt  php     echo  featureRss  channel    item   0   description       gt    You can see a demo here

Am I oversimplifying this    location    http   rss news yahoo com rss topstories   print file get contents  location     Some places  like digg com  won t allow you to access their site without having a user-agent  in which case you would need to set that with ini set   prior to running the file get contents

You can use HTTP URLs as if they were local files  thanks to PHP s wrappers  You can get the contents from an URL via file get contents   and then echo it  or even read it directly using readfile     file   file get contents  http   example com rss    echo  file    or  readfile  http   example com rss      Don t forget to set the correct MIME type before outputing anything  though   header  Content-type  text xml

If you just want to print the raw XML you don t need Simple XML  I added some error handling and a simple example of how you might want to use SimpleXML    lt  php   curl   curl init            curl setopt   curl  CURLOPT URL   http   rss news yahoo com rss topstories       curl setopt  curl  CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER  1       result   curl exec   curl       if   result     false        die  Error fetching data      curl error  curl         curl close   curl          we can at this point echo the XML if you want   echo  result     parse xml string into SimpleXML objects  xml   simplexml load string  result    if   xml     false        die  Error parsing XML            now we can loop through the xml structure foreach   xml- gt channel- gt item as  item        print  item- gt title

The best solution is to add to your apache  htaccess file the following line after RewriteEngine On  RewriteRule  sitemap  xml  sitemap php  L    and then simply having a file sitemap php in your root folder that would be normally accessible via http   www yoursite com sitemap xml  the default URL where all search engines will firstly search   The file sitemap php shall start with   lt  php   Saturday  11 January 2020  kevin  header  Content-type  text xml    echo   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8   gt      gt   lt urlset       xmlns  http   www sitemaps org schemas sitemap 0 9        xmlns xsi  http   www w3 org 2001 XMLSchema-instance        xsi schemaLocation  http   www sitemaps org schemas sitemap 0 9             http   www sitemaps org schemas sitemap 0 9 sitemap xsd  gt    lt url gt     lt loc gt https   www yoursite com  lt  loc gt     lt lastmod gt 2020-01-08T13 06 14 00 00 lt  lastmod gt     lt priority gt 1 00 lt  priority gt   lt  url gt     lt  urlset gt    it works
