Parsing rss.php

[teslakiiing]

Hi!
I'm building an rss-reader for a school project and it works fine... when the feed is a rss.xml. However my teacher created an rss.php feed which I can't parse to display it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hey tesla, do you know how the rss.php feed is set up?

try this link iPhone SDK Tutorial: Build a Simple RSS reader for the iPhone: Apple News, Tips and Reviews and in the implementation file change the URL of the rss change it to .php

An XML Parser is used for parsing XML files not PHP files.

I'm really new to programming and i have used alot of the code in that tutorial. but for the php part i'm clueless. Everything i can find is how to parse an xml-file with php...
the feed is at Canceled classes
It is a feed for all the canceled classes at my school.

The feed at Canceled classes isn't RSS but ATOM.
Which will need a different parser.

I think I got it working by reading this https://github.com/mwaterfall/MWFeedParser
But I cant test it until a class i actually canceled because its empty when there is no canceled class. Does anybody know of a atom feed i can use to test it?

Thanks for the help guys! I got it working and now it works with the canceled classes feed. But it uses like %2C instead of "," in the feed itself and I wonder if there is a way to convert these combinations to what it actually means?
