at least someone took my comments about PEAR's failing to heart. » « 17:24 13/09/04 | permalink | code php

stupid stupid pear doesn't have an atom parser yet (and wont for ages - their standards and approval process greatly discourage people writing for it - there's no way i ever will :/) so i wrote one with the same interface as XML::RSS, for drop in replacement (it's going to be used in an upcoming aggregator project). » « 22:17 14/07/04 | permalink | code php atom rss
