README

A PHP library for parsing Podcast XML/RSS feeds.

Features

• Get channel metadata, such as the title and description
• Retrieve a list of the episodes
• Supports iTunes metadata such as categories
• Get artwork and media files
• Sort episodes by their publication date, episode number or split into seasons

Installation

composer require lukaswhite/php-feed-parser

Usage

use Lukaswhite\PodcastFeedParser\Parser; $parser = Parser(); $parser->load('/path/to/feed/feed.rss'); $podcast = $parser->run();

or

$parser = Parser(); $parser->setContent(/** raw content */); $podcast = $parser->run();

The run() method returns an instance of the Podcast class, on which the getEpisodes() method returns a collection of the podcast episodes.

Simple Example

This only shows a limited selection of the available fields; you'll find a complete list here.

$podcast = $parser->run(); $id = $db->insert( 'podcasts', [ 'title' => $podcast->getTitle(), 'description' => $podcast->getDescription(), 'artwork' => $podcast->getArtwork()->getUri(), ] ); foreach($podcast->getEpisodes() as $episode) { $db->insert( 'episodes', [ 'podcast_id' => $id, 'guid' => $episode->getGuid(), 'title' => $episode->getTitle(), 'description' => $episode->getDescription(), 'media_uri' => $podcast->getMedia()->getUri(), ] ); } return $podcast->getEpisodes()->mostRecent();
