Engineering Project I
This is my repository for Engineering Project I from Salih Bayar.
Project Aim
In this project, we gather RSS Feeds with PHP and stores them in MySql database so it can be implemented in any mobile app through mysqli request. This project also acts as an RSS Aggregator like Feedly or NewsBlur.
Configuration
To configure first open the config folder.
- In "errors.php" you can comment out the lines if you don't want any reporting.
- In "rss_sources.php" you can add or more RSS feed according to your preferences.
- In "sql_conf.php" you can rename the default Database and Table name. Add your MySql / MariaDB username and password also specify hostname and port.
- "initiate_sql.php" will create the database and table if you haven't created a table beforehand.
- To make the steps automated open your control panel like cPanel or Plesk and create a cron job.
How to Run the Application
After the configuration steps, you can create news entries with "rss_data.php" in "rss" folder. You can run it in the browser or create a cron job locally. If you plan to run it in the browser make sure that "_clear.php" in "sql" folder is unreachable to 3rd parties.
