It's amazing all the google queries i've done and can't find even 1 decent free XML feed generator script. I used all the popular keywords as well like "free xml generator" , "free xml creator" .. = All crap or they lead me in 'Download Now' loops where I can never get the download, just another screen. When will Google clean these crap sites up ? I finally found one that seemed decent, but it was one for Windows only. Or another one that said it was for XML, when it was really only for RSS.

But I just need a simple 1 page php script that will display XML feed content (not RSS).

Any help is much appreciated.

what does this mean? You might be surprised by google, but i've no idea at all what an "XML Generator" would do outside of a specific this like RSS. XML is nothing but structure, so without having a certain structure and data to put in it, it makes no sense to just make "some" XML.

kewpie, your right. I was thinking of using XML as SimplePie kind of ...but SimplePie is just for RSS.

Basically I just need an XML script that works on linux. And will pull in the xml feeds that I specify....and output it neatly / formatted with headlines and such into a webpage.

For RSS I use SimplePie and have no problem with it.

For XML, there seems to be no product that is popular / simple / or mainstream .

Any recommendations are appreciated, even if PM'd . I need something that works stand-alone....not with WordPress or anything.

but again, you've not explained what this means! You have an RSS one as RSS is a tangible structure OF XML that MEANS something. XML by itself doesn't MEAN anything. You've literally explained nothing about what you want it to achieve. There is no such thing as an "XML feed" XML is NOT a "feed".

dude....seriously?

You know how there are RSS feeds and there are XML feeds correct ?

I'm looking for a program to parse XML feeds on a linux server...so that they can display into normal webpages.

that is all.

YES SERIOUSLY. You're the one not getting this... Remember how you couldn't find anything to do this? That's becuase "this" is NOT a thing.

There is NO SUCH THING AS AN "XML FEED" The "feed" part is the interpretation of the data that is higher in the stack than XML. XML is just syntax and structure, there is no inherent meaning to any of it. How do you suppose to take some arbitrary XML that could contain ANYTHING and make it into a webpage??? What does that even mean...

Maybe providing an example will be easier :

Here is an XML feed - http://w1.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/index.xml

I'd like to have the following above implemented into a webpage and without all the formatting. I need specific software installed on Linux to do so.

This is startin to feel like i'm on a Punk'd episode...

Well if you think I'm playing a joke on you then we're clearly not going to get anywhere.

What you want doesn't make sense, there's far too much missing information. Unless you just want a syntax parsed XML document to be literally displayed, but any browser goes that far when presented within any XML it doesn't have a dtd for. I use XML-Tree on Chrome, maybe that's all you're really talking about? I can change font sizes etc, and save it as a local dtd...?
