Here is a quick mod_rewrite example that forces www and redirects index.php to / (this fixes two canonicalization issues at one time).
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.site.com$ RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.site.com/$1 [R=301] RewriteRule ^/index\.php$ http://www.site.com/ [R=301,L] |
Old lady with bag on her head….
The crux of the whole thing is that she has an umbrella in her hand.. so why the bag old lady? Why??!! 
PHP Code Get Most Recent Wordpress Post
This is a quick example using only vanilla PHP. There are more dynamic ways to do this using RSS classes built into PHP addons, which I won’t go into detail here. Instead, we will just use vanilla PHP, and parse the XML by hand.
On to the code, I take 3 arguments here, number of posts to return, the RSS URL, and an optional max number of characters to return.
//get most recent rss //get most recent rss function recent_rss($display=0,$url='', $description_limit = 0) { $itemArr = array(); $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->load($url); foreach ($doc->getElementsByTagName('item') as $node) { if ($display == 0) { break; } $description = $node->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->nodeValue; //if limit passed in, truncate string if($description_limit > 0) { $description = substr($description, 0, $description_limit)."..."; } $itemRSS = array ( 'title' => $node->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue, 'description' => $description, 'link' => $node->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0)->nodeValue, 'pubdate' => $node->getElementsByTagName('pubDate')->item(0)->nodeValue ); array_push($itemArr, $itemRSS); $display--; } return $itemArr; } //example use $recent_post = recent_rss(1, 'http://houseplansblog.nelsondesigngroup.com/index.php/feed/', 0); var_dump($recent_post); |
Now, Here is a quick and dirty XHTML example showing how you might implement this on a page. (Note the use of the preg_replace to get rid of weird characters that get into the RSS sometimes)
<div id="rss_container" style="width:250px;"> <div id="rss_title"> <a href='<?php echo $recent_post[0]["link"]; ?>'> <?php echo preg_replace('/[^(\x20-\x7F)]*/','', $recent_post[0]["title"]);?> </a> </div> <div id="rss_pub_date"> <?php echo $recent_post[0]["pubdate"];?> </div> <div id="rss_description"> <?php echo $recent_post[0]["description"];?> </div> </div> |
