Hey there, I have no idea really how to use rss but a bunch of my friends want me to make an RSS feed of our website. Currently I use PHP and mySQL to display content on pages of the site but how would I go about connecting an RSS feed to mySQL database?

AND is it even possible hah.

Thanks so much

start by looking at the rss 2.0 spec and then write a script that will produce a feed.

Ah, good link.

Busy at the moment, but I'll definitely look into that.

The RSS 2.0 specification has moved. The current version is here:

I wrote an article and PHP code a couple years ago on creating RSS feeds from a MySQL database. It should help get you started:
