Method Detail

getEnclosure [line 123]

array|false getEnclosure(
string
$method, array
$parameters)

Access details of file enclosures

The RSS2 spec is ambiguous as to whether an enclosure element must be unique in a given entry. For now we will assume it needn't, and allow for an offset.

Parameters:

string	`$method`	—	- the method being called
array	`$parameters`	—	- we expect the first of these to be our offset

getGuid [line 96]

string getGuid(
string
$method, array
$params)

Get the value of the guid element, if specified

guid is the closest RSS2 has to atom's ID. It is usually but not always a URI. The one attribute that RSS2 can posess is 'ispermalink' which specifies whether the guid is itself dereferencable. Use of guid is not obligatory, but is advisable. To get the guid you would call $item->id() (for atom compatibility) or $item->guid(). To check if this guid is a permalink call $item->guid("ispermalink").

Return: the guid or value of ispermalink

Parameters:

string	`$method`	—	- the method name being called
array	`$params`	—	- parameters required

getSource [line 155]

array|false getSource(
)

Get the entry source if specified

source is an optional sub-element of item. Like atom:source it tells us about where the entry came from (eg. if it's been copied from another feed). It is not a rich source of metadata in the same way as atom:source and while it would be good to maintain compatibility by returning an XML_Feed_Parser_RSS2 element, it makes a lot more sense to return an array.
