Resolved PHP to parse podcast

That why would the URL not be what you want, but instead GUID is right? In this context I would guess that GUID stands for "Globally unique identifier" and is usually 32 hex digits.

Where does the data come from? Do you have control over it?

EDIT: Ok maybe I should read better. For my misunderstanding I'll look at the script you uploaded.

 

Ok, this was non trivial given the fact that I had to write my own implementation for FeedForAll_scripts_readFile($file, $notused) and comment out a lot of other stuff that doesn't work without whatever supporting files need to be in place.

Find the line that looks like this.

Code:

$template = FeedForAll_rss2html_str_replace("~~~FeedLink~~~", FeedForAll_rss2html_EscapeLink($rss_parser->FeedLink), $template);

Replace it with this.

Code:

$start = strpos($XML, '<guid>');
$end = strpos($XML, '</guid>');
$guidValue = null;
if ($start !== false && $end !== false) {
	$guidValue = substr($XML, $start + 6, $end - $start - 6);
	//die($guidValue);
} 
$link = ($guidValue)?$guidValue:FeedForAll_rss2html_EscapeLink($rss_parser->FeedLink);
$template = FeedForAll_rss2html_str_replace("~~~FeedLink~~~", $link, $template);
//$template = FeedForAll_rss2html_str_replace("~~~FeedLink~~~", FeedForAll_rss2html_EscapeLink($rss_parser->FeedLink), $template);

Note that this is best guess based on me not being able to run the script to completion and just relying on die()'s and var_dump()'s to work out what is supposed to happen. For example, the rss container class "baseParserClass()" doesn't seem to implemented in this file and doesn't seem to be a stock php class.

This solution will gracefully fail on anything that doesn't have <guid> elements, but will not gracefully fail on things that have <guid> elements that are not the links you are looking for.

 

Uncomment out the //die line and see if you get the first GUID link.

 

In the more recent file you uploaded, that includes the XML parser.

Find:

Code:

case "GUID":
$this->currentItem->guid .= $data;
break;

Make it:

Code:

case "GUID":
$this->currentItem->guid .= $data;
$this->currentItem->link = $data;
break;

This will work. Though I'm honestly not sure why the original fix didn't work. That code path must not be taken due to some newer code or something.

EDIT: Ok I see why my original fix didn't work, it was replacing FeedLink which is not the same as the individual ITEMLinks. The actual parsing of individual items is left 100% up to that second file you uploaded. Also oddly, it seems that it at least partially supports using <guid> tags as the links given the setting of the ivar $guidIsPermaLink which it sets based on an attribute of the <guid> tag itself (that isn't there on this feed). However this original base class does not in fact ever use this attribute/ivar for any calculation of the item link. It must be intended for one to subclass the parser to implement that feature. (not that it would help since its not set on this feed).

EDIT2: Oh and I forgot to mention, you can remove the earlier code change. Just roll back to the original file you uploaded, and implement the change in the second one.
