Display multiple RSS feeds based on a keyword using gAjax RSS v2

[TennisWill]

1) Script Title: gAjax RSS Feeds Displayer v2.0 (hosted)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...sdisplayer.htm

3) Describe problem:

Is there a way to display multiple feeds items based on a unique keyword?

An example for my tennis site; say I would like to create a page displaying only news items about 'John McEnroe'; using multiple RSS feeds. My keyword would be 'mcenroe'.

Is this possible using gAjax RSS Feeds Displayer v2.0?

Thank you for any help offered.

Possibly, though it depends on what you mean exactly. Are you talking about filtering the entries so only ones with a certain keyword in their title or body show up, or do you mean searching and discovering RSS entries to show based on a keyword?

Would it be possible to filter and display entries based on category or pubDate?
Thanks

PHP5 has a native XML function that allows you to parse XML feeds as HTML, so if your web server run PHP5, you can use this script to filter by pubDate;

$feed_file = 'http://www.mywebsite.com/path/to/my-rss-feed.xml'; // URL of RSS
$cache_file = 'temp/my-rss-feed.rss'; // path to cache file
$cache_time = 3600*24; // 24 hours (set to 0 for no cache)
$date_filter = '2013-03-21'; // Date filter YYYY-MM-DD

$timedif = @(time() - filemtime($cache_file)); 
if (file_exists($cache_file) && $timedif < $cache_time) {
    $string = file_get_contents($cache_file);
    } else {
    $string = file_get_contents($feed_file);
    if ($f = @fopen($cache_file, 'w')) {
        fwrite ($f, $string, strlen($string));
        fclose($f);
        }
    }
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
foreach ($xml->channel->item as $val) {
    $date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($val->pubDate));
    if ($date == $date_filter) {    
            echo '<p><b>'.$val->title.'</b><br/>'.$val->pubDate.' : '.$val->description.'</p>';
        }
    }
