Answer 2

txt2rss.php is a trivial PHP script that can take small multi-line text files, an RSS template file and produce an entire RSS 1.0 XML file. This requires some RSS and XML knowledge to configure your template file, but requires only a text editor for your updates. The act of updating is the motivation and primary activity of RSS.

The Web feed could be generated continously and on-demand from the input files, but it is advised that the output is generated and saved to a regular file. This can be managed well with a unix Make file
The script needs a few bits and pieces from you:

One text file should have information about your Web site or feed. Consequently, this file should rarely change.
A wildcard glob expression, like "food*.txt" for matching text files starting with "food" is configured in the PHP source file. An output file name can be provided, but it is currently ignored for all intensive purposes.
Any files that match the glob (for the example, "food-new.txt" would), will contain information for each RSS item.
The RSS template file is provided with placeholders where the information from text files should be inserted. However, other customizations can be added to the RSS file, including images or user inputs and language or internationalization changes.

Answer 4

In order to save it as .php...you need a program on your computer which can read and edit php files.

Macromedia Dreamweaver can do that.

Even then...you won't be able to convert it.
You will need to create a php file with Dreamweaver and paste the text in it.

Maybe you should try to convert it to html first.
Because you can convert html to php.

Answer 5

this problem occurs because your files' extentions are not visible.
right click on your .txt file and open it with notepad.
in note pad, select file,save as
then write your file name as: yourfile.php
save as type: all files
OR
open my computer
tools->folder options->view
in the hidden files and folders section, unmark hide extensions for known file types.
you'd see that your file is a yourfile.php.txt
rename it to yourfile.php

Answer 6
