Simple, free and easy to use!

Features-At-A-Glance

• Use a client-side Javascript Script Include to retrieve RSS/XML News Feeds.
• Change the News Feed Source via a Configuration script.

Simple Installation!

1. Download all the files to a single location in your web server.

2. To Use, include this small snippet in the portion of the HTML file that you would like the news feed to appear:

<SCRIPT
language=JavaScript
src="http://yourdomain.com/instantfeedreader.php">
</SCRIPT>

3. Open up instantfeedreader.confic.inc.php and change the location of the news feed URL to your desired one.

MULTIPLE News Feeds OPTION ONE :

This is for those who wants to display specific news feeds.

You can display MULTIPLE News Feeds on your website if you have a few installations of this in seperate folders.

eg.
/newsfeed1/instantfeedreader.php
/newsfeed2/instantfeedreader.php
/newsfeed3/instantfeedreader.php
/newsfeed4/instantfeedreader.php

And your javascript in your website would look something like


<SCRIPT
language=JavaScript
src="http://benruth.com/newsfeed1/instantfeedreader.php">
</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT
language=JavaScript
src="http://benruth.com/newsfeed4/instantfeedreader.php">
</SCRIPT>


MULTIPLE News Feeds OPTION TWO :

Leave $sFilename (in the configuration file) as “” to use the URL version

example

In config file
$sFilename = “”;

In the javascript
<SCRIPT
language=JavaScript src="http://benruth.com/instantfeedreader/instantfeedreader.php?
feed=http://www.benruth.com/feed.xml">
</ SCRIPT>

The reasoning behind this is to prevent other people from supplying any feed in the url and use up your precious server resources, if you only want specific news feeds to be read.

So, either supply a filename in the config file, and ENSURE that it is the only feed that you serve
OR, leave the filename blank in the config file, and allow possibly anyone to type in any feed url.

There would not be any technical assistance on this script. However you can pop a question or so to me at my email ( ben AT benruth DOT com ). It is good to say hi!
