A Cockermouth RSS Example
What the example looks like
We’ve been looking at our logs and noted how many of you are using Real Simple Syndication (RSS) to access the Jobcentre Plus Mirror database. So, we’ve done a little work on this ensuring that the ‘description’ field contains a little bit of description, for example. Also as an example we’ve put some PHP together to show how an RSS feed may be used in a ‘local’ page. Initially this was fewer than 20 lines of code, but it’s grown as a Javascript asynchronous mechanism was added and then a non-Javascript element that did a similar job. A Technical Note has been written, but you can also read the in-page explanation of the example.
