Generate RSS feed for files in a directory folder. Put this file in a folder with files, modify the $allowed_ext variable to customize your extensions, and $feedName, $feedDesc, $feedURL, and $feedBaseURL. Then navigate to the folder on the web to see the xml feed. Done!

index.php

	RSS 2.0 feed that contains the list and modification times for all the
	files.

$feedDesc = "Feed for the my audio files in some server folder";
$feedURL = "http://www.mysite.com/audio";
$feedBaseURL = "http://www.mysite.com/audio/"; // must end in trailing forward slash (/).

$allowed_ext = ".mp4,.MP4,.mp3,.MP3";

How can Limit number of items?
Example: Show last 10Feed (datatime)

Well, if you're using my script there's an array $book_details that contains all the book details, that's then passed to the outputRSS function (see the outputRSS($book_details); line). You could just use array_slice (or similar) to shorten that array before passing it through to outputRSS.

does anyone know of an ompl editor written in php?

I tried the script but I have some very odd thing.
The key thing is that the timestamp is always now() instead of the file timestamp.

And I don't seem to understand how the array is working. Adding something like $files[]['comment'] always returns an empty value.

Not much PHP work done the last few years so I need a reminder of somethings that might seem too silly to mention.

perhaps try my version https://gitlab.com/dewijones92/dot-files/-/blob/master/serverconfig/code/server_docker/php_files/index.php
put your files in /files

Hello! After switching from Apache to Caddy web server, I can't get rss to work. Podcast app sees files, but it always gives an error when i try to downloader the file. Is it possible that I am missing some specific part of php engine?
