Re: [syndication] PHP tool for parsing RSS1.0?

Dave / Jim,

    This is the output of a parser I wrote for SyndicateThe.Net and The
Snewp - there is PHP for reading it, yes - not standalone, but easily made
so. Jim was correct, it is the output of print_r() - which recursively
prints arrays -- my parser simply creates an array of arrays = up to 3 or 4
deep.
    I hadn't planned on releasing this code yet, as I am still working on
some refinements, but nothing like demand to control supply, eh?

    Incidentally, I also have a similar parser for HTTP requests - used for
SyndicateThe.Net and The Snewp (and other projects) also.
