Hi,
I am trying to display the last 2 items from a WordPress RSS Feed. I have tried a few of the solutions on the forum however these don't seem to work in this situation. I only seem to get a single item. I have included the code so far if someone could suggest how to do this.
Thanks
<?php
require("MagicParser.php");
$counter = 0;
function myRecordHandler($record)
{
global $counter;
// The following code will print out each field in your sample data:
?>
<div id="news_box"><div class="title"><a target="_parent" href="<?php print $record["CHANNEL/ITEM/LINK"];?>"><?php print $record["CHANNEL/ITEM/TITLE"];?></a></div>
<div class="description"><?php print "<span>".substr($record["CHANNEL/ITEM/DESCRIPTION"],0,400)."...</span>";?> <a target="_parent" href="<?php print $record["CHANNEL/ITEM/LINK"];?>">Read More</a></div>
</div><?php
$counter++;
return ($counter == 2);
}
MagicParser_parse("http://domain.com/feed/?cat=8","myRecordHandler","xml|RSS/");
?>Hi David,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
I got it working in the end using the code I posted but I removed CHANNEL/ITEM/ from the records and put that after the record handler and URL and it all works now.
<?php
require("MagicParser.php");
$counter = 0;
function myRecordHandler($record)
{
global $counter;
// The following code will print out each field in your sample data:
?>
<div id="news_box"><div class="title"><a target="_parent" href="<?php print $record["LINK"];?>"><?php print $record["TITLE"];?></a></div>
<div class="description"><?php print "<span>".substr($record["DESCRIPTION"],0,400)."...</span>";?> <a target="_parent" href="<?php print $record["LINK"];?>">Read More</a></div>
</div><?php
$counter++;
return ($counter == 2);
}
MagicParser_parse("http://domain.com/feed/?cat=8","myRecordHandler","xml|RSS/CHANNEL/ITEM/");
?>No worries!
Glad you're up and running!
Cheers,
David

Hello Iain,
To display the last 2 items in a feed, since it is not (definitely) known how many items are present before the parse, the easiest thing to do is to parse the records into a global array, and then pick-off the last 2 items in the array for display.
Have a go with something like this:
<?phprequire("MagicParser.php");
$records = array();
function myRecordHandler1($record)
{
global $records;
$records[] = $record;
}
MagicParser_parse("http://domain.com/feed/?cat=8","myRecordHandler1","xml|RSS/");
function myRecordHandler2($record)
{
?>
<div id="news_box"><div class="title"><a target="_parent" href="<?php print $record["CHANNEL/ITEM/LINK"];?>"><?php print $record["CHANNEL/ITEM/TITLE"];?></a></div>
<div class="description"><?php print "<span>".substr($record["CHANNEL/ITEM/DESCRIPTION"],0,400)."...</span>";?> <a target="_parent" href="<?php print $record["CHANNEL/ITEM/LINK"];?>">Read More</a></div>
</div>
<?php
}
for($i=0;$i<2;$i++)
{
$record = array_pop($records);
myRecordHandler2($record);
}
?>
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David
