Inherited Methods

Class: XML_Feed_Parser_Type

XML_Feed_Parser_Type::addBase(): Gets us the xml:base data and then processes that with regard to our current link.
XML_Feed_Parser_Type::combineBases(): 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.
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::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.
XML_Feed_Parser_Type::processXHTMLAttributes(): We need a couple of methods to access XHTML content stored in feeds.
XML_Feed_Parser_Type::traverseNode(): We need a couple of methods to access XHTML content stored in feeds.

Method Detail

getCategory [line 153]

string|array|false getCategory(
string
$call, [array
$arguments = array()])

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.

Overrides XML_Feed_Parser_Type::getCategory() (There is no single way of declaring a category in RSS1 or Atom as there is in RSS2.)

Parameters:

string	`$call`	—	for compatibility with our overloading
array	`$arguments`	—	- arg 0 is the offset, arg 1 is whether to return as array

getCloud [line 269]

array getCloud(
)

The cloud element is rarely used. It is designed to provide some details of a location to update the feed.

Return: an array of the attributes of the element

getEntryById [line 132]

XML_Feed_Parser_RSS2Element getEntryById(
string
$id)

This is not really something that will work with RSS2 as it does not have clear restrictions on the global uniqueness of IDs. But we can emulate it by allowing access based on the 'guid' element.

Parameters:

string $id — any valid ID.

getImage [line 176]

array|false getImage(
)

Get details of the image associated with the feed.

Return: an array simply containing the child elements

getLink [line 293]

string getLink(
int
$offset, [string
$attribute = 'href'], [array
$params = array()])

In RSS2 a link is a text element but in order to ensure that we resolve URLs properly we have a special function for them. We maintain the parameter used by the atom getLink method, though we only use the offset parameter.

Parameters:

int	`$offset`	—
string	`$attribute`	—
array	`$params`	—

getSkipDays [line 258]

array getSkipDays(
)

The skipdays element provides a list of days on which this feed should not be checked. We return an array of those days.

getSkipHours [line 247]

array getSkipHours(
)

The skiphours element provides a list of hourss on which this feed should not be checked. We return an array of those hours (integers, 24 hour clock)

[ Top ]

getSkips [line 226]

array|false getSkips(
string
$tagName)

This is a general function used by both getSkipDays and getSkipHours. It simply returns an array of the values of the children of the appropriate tag.

Parameters:

string $tagName —

getTextInput [line 204]

array|false getTextInput(
)

The textinput element is little used, but in the interests of completeness...
