itunes-podcast-feed

A php script for generating iTunes-compatible podcast feeds.

Can optionally use the getID3 library for reading information about each file from the audio ID3 tags.

Usage

1. Place feed.php anywhere on your server. Optionally download the latest version of getID3 and place it somewhere nearby.
2. Edit the configuration variables in feed.php to match your server set up. All audio files must be within the same directory.
3. The URL to feed.php is your feed url. Submit this to iTunes & enjoy.

getID3

Without getID3 enabled, the script will output file data of the form

<item>
    <title>some_file.mp3</title>
    <link>
        http://nexuschurch.com.au/sites/all/files/sermon_audio/03062012_AM.mp3
    </link>

By including getID3, the files will also have information about the specific file title, artist and duration.
