Inherited Methods

Class: XML_Feed_Parser_Type

XML_Feed_Parser_Type::addBase(): getBase gets us the xml:base data. We then need to process that with regard to our current link. This function does that and returns the link in as complete a form as possible.
XML_Feed_Parser_Type::count(): This function will tell us how many times the element $type appears at this level of the feed.
XML_Feed_Parser_Type::getBase(): We will often need to extract the xml:base values that apply to a link. This method iterates through the heirarchy and extracts the relevant attributes, and then combines them.
XML_Feed_Parser_Type::getCategory(): There is no single way of declaring a category in RSS1 or Atom as there is in RSS2.
XML_Feed_Parser_Type::getDate(): Get a date construct. We use PHP's strtotime to return it as a unix datetime
XML_Feed_Parser_Type::getEntryByOffset(): Pretty fundamental!
XML_Feed_Parser_Type::getText(): Get a text construct.

Method Detail

getAuthor [line 224]

array|false getAuthor(
)

Dublin Core provides the dc:creator, dc:contributor, and dc:publisher elements for defining authorship in RSS1. We will try each of those in turn in order to simulate the atom author element and will return it as text.

getEntryById [line 142]

XML_Feed_Parser_RSS1Element getEntryById(
string
$id)

This is not really something that will work with RSS1 as it does not have clear restrictions on the global uniqueness of IDs. We will employ the _very_ hit and miss method of selecting entries based on the rdf:about attribute.

Parameters:

string $id — any valid ID.

getImage [line 161]

array|false getImage(
)

Get details of the image associated with the feed.

Return: an array simply containing the child elements

getLink [line 242]

string getLink(
[mixed
$offset = 0], [mixed
$attribute = 'href'], [mixed
$params = false])

In RSS1 a link is a text element but in order to ensure that we resolve URLs properly we have a special function for them.

getTextInput [line 189]

array|false getTextInput(
)

The textinput element is little used, but in the interests of completeness we will support it.
