Class: XML_Feed_Parser_Type

string addBase( string $link, DOMElement $element)

Gets us the xml:base data and then processes that with regard to our current link.

Parameters:

void combineBases( string $base, string $link)

We have other methods which will traverse the DOM and work out the different xml:base declarations we need to be aware of. We then need to combine them.

If a declaration starts with a protocol then we restart the string. If it starts with a / then we add on to the domain name. Otherwise we simply tag it on to the end.

Parameters:

int count( string $type)

This function will tell us how many times the element $type appears at this level of the feed.

Parameters:

string|array|false getCategory( string $call, array $arguments)

There is no single way of declaring a category in RSS1 or Atom as there is in RSS2.

Instead the usual approach is to use the dublin core namespace to declare categories. For example delicious use both: <dc:subject>PEAR</dc:subject> and: <taxo:topics><rdf:Bag> <rdf:li resource="http://del.icio.us/tag/PEAR" /></rdf:Bag></taxo:topics> to declare a categorisation of 'PEAR'.

We need to be sensitive to this where possible. For the initial implementation we will simply extract all dc:subject entries as that is common across Atom and RSS1.

Overridden in child classes as:

XML_Feed_Parser_RSS2::getCategory()

The category element is a simple text construct which can occur any number of times. We allow access by offset or access to an array of results.

Parameters:

int|false getDate( string $method, array $arguments)

Get a date construct. We use PHP's strtotime to return it as a unix datetime

Parameters:

XML_Feed_Parser_RSS1Element getEntryByOffset( int $offset)

Pretty fundamental!

Parameters:

string getText( string $method, [array $arguments = array()])

Get a text construct.

Overridden in child classes as:

XML_Feed_Parser_Atom::getText()

Get a text construct. This is probably our most complex basic type as we will want the option to return attributes.

Parameters:

string processXHTMLAttributes( DOMElement $node)

We need a couple of methods to access XHTML content stored in feeds.

This is because we dereference all xml:base references before returning the element. This method handles the attributes.

Parameters:

string traverseNode( DOMElement $node)

We need a couple of methods to access XHTML content stored in feeds.

This is because we dereference all xml:base references before returning the element. This method recurs through the tree descending from the node and builds our string

Parameters:
