Importing from a PHP string variable:
$placesFeed = Zend_Feed::importString($placesFeedString);
That covers some of the basic features of Zend_Feed and of course there is more that we could have
covered if it weren??™t for the limitations of chapter size and the fact that we??™re eager to move onto the next
section on Zend_XmlRpc.
11.3 Zend_XmlRpc
We already described how XML-RPC makes XML encoded remote procedure calls through HTTP requests
and responses. The relative youth of XML might suggest this is yet another new technology being thrust upon
us by marketing departments, but remote procedure calls are not a new concept. Written over thirty years ago,
the memo RFC 707: ???A High-Level Framework for Network-Based Resource Sharing???, describes the RPC
protocol in a slightly quaint way:
???Given such a protocol, the various remote resources upon which a user might wish to draw
can indeed be made to appear as a single, coherent workshop by interposing between him and
them a command language interpreter that transforms his commands into the appropriate
protocol utterances???
RFC# 707: A High-Level Framework for Network-Based Resource Sharing, 14th Jan 1976
The start of that document makes an interesting challenge to ARPANET, the predecessor to today??™s
internet, in the the sentence beginning ???This paper outlines an alternative to the approach that ARPANET
system builders have been taking???.
