How to re-use an RSS feed?

[booksgo]

I have access to an RSS feed, (eg www.booksgo's_other_site.com/rssfeed.rss) that I want to make available at booksgo.x10hosting.com/feed.rss
I don't want the url to re-direct, I want the feed to be imported somehow and on the x10 server at booksgo.x10hosting.com/feed.rss.
Is that sort of thing possible, any ideas?
Thanks

I guess the answer is No...:dunno:

There are a couple of ways of doing this.

Option 1.
Run a cron-job on the server and call a shell script to get the file from the other site and store it in your public_html folder as feed.rss. I'm not sure if x10hosting allows wget or commands like that, but you can check.

Or

Option 2.
Write a PHP/Python script which fetches and displays the RSS feed each time feed.rss is called. You can do that using a Apache .htaccess RewriteRule such that any access to feed.rss will call your script.

As far as I know, external access from x10 is not allowed, although I may be wrong.

First, you want to grab the other rss feed. cURL library is nice.

PHP online manual

Example of using cURL

rss.php

   // create curl resource 
 $ch = curl_init(); 

        // set url 
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "www.booksgo's_other_site.com/rssfeed.rss"); 

        //return the transfer as a string 
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 

        // $output contains the output string 
 $output = curl_exec($ch); 

        // close curl resource to free up system resources 
 curl_close($ch);

Then you want to spit it out.

  header('Content-type: text/xml');

 echo $output ;

"But that has .php extension. I want an .rss extension!" :eek4:

Ok. Add the folowing to .htaccess in the directory of your choice so it will rewrite the incoming URL 'feed.rss' to rss.php.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} feed.rss$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^feed.rss$ rss.php
</IfModule>

Thanks for your help. There was a problem with an '&', but it doesn't matter now as I've gone off the idea
