PHP RSS Family Photo Subscription Feed

I have just put the finishing touches on this. It is a php-based RSS feed. If you don't know what that is, you might want to stop reading here. Otherwise, I'm writing this to share with anyone who cares. What I've done is written a php file that searches in a directory for photos and builds an rss file out of the entries. The code sorts the images based on their modified date, such that the most recent entries appear first. I use this modified date in the <pubDate> tag on the RSS, as well.

The file is called rss.php:

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
  1. function searchdir ( $path , $maxdepth = -1 , $mode = "FULL" , $d = 0 )
  2. {
  3. if ( substr ( $path , strlen ( $path ) - 1 ) != '/' ) { $path .= '/' ; }
  4. $dirlist = array () ;
  5. if ( $mode != "FILES" ) { $dirlist[] = $path ; }
  6. if ( $handle = opendir ( $path ) )
  7. {
  8. while ( false !== ( $file = readdir ( $handle ) ) )
  9. {
  10. if ( $file != '.' && $file != '..' )
  11. {
  12. $file = $path . $file ;
  13. if ( ! is_dir ( $file ) ) { if ( $mode != "DIRS" ) {
  14. $dirlist[$file] =date ("Ymd H:i:s", filectime($file));
  15.  
  16. } }
  17.  
  18. elseif ( $d>=0 && ($d <$maxdepth || $maxdepth <0) )
  19. {
  20. $result = searchdir ( $file . '/' , $maxdepth , $mode , $d + 1 ) ;
  21. $dirlist = array_merge ( $dirlist , $result ) ;
  22. }
  23. }
  24. }
  25. closedir ( $handle ) ;
  26. }
  27. if ( $d == 0 ) { arsort($dirlist);}//natcasesort ( $dirlist ) ; }
  28. return ( $dirlist ) ;
  29. }

  31. $year = substr($dateIn, 0, 4);
  32. $month = substr($dateIn, 4, 2);
  33. $day = substr($dateIn, 6, 2);
