PHP RSS Feed Reader using Curl-PHP RSS parser

In this article,I will explain how to Read RSS feed in php.I have used PHP Curl library to parse RSS feeds with PHP.we can covert rss feed to content using PHP.

Please check below php rss reader example:
<?php
//Used cURL to get the RSS feed into a PHP string variable
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,'http://example.php/rss.xml');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$xml = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);


$return_data = new SimpleXmlElement($xml, LIBXML_NOCDATA);//I have used the 
SimpleXML PHP functions to parse XML documents
    
$items = count($return_data->channel->item);
for($i=0; $i<$items; $i++)
{
 $desc = $return_data->channel->item[$i]->title; 

 $desc = $return_data->channel->item[$i]->link;
 echo $desc = $return_data->channel->item[$i]->description;
}
?>
