guys,

doing a content management system in php/mysql and have to include some way of providing rss feeds of any articles that are added to my cms..

what is the best way to do this?

Can i just output from the DB right into an xml file?

How can i select which articles I want to keep in the feeds i.e. the most recent 20 articles?

An option would be to use an xml storage file rather than a database but i think i would needmysql with the php for controlling logins/session variables etc..

im a newbie to php/mysql but have experienced limited uses of XML.

Currently I am learning about XML DOM transformations and then we will look at Xpath..maybe this will be useful?

Great place to post here and I know some v smart ppl live on here!

Thanks in advance
J
