It makes for alot of work with mysqladmin but if the script could include "discarded" stories in the duplicate checking that would be great.

I'm not much of a coder but I'm hoping this isn't hard. Could someone give me a quick tutorial on how to make this script check queued and discard stories?

I just limited the import with an "if...then" statement in the script. This works fine.

Here is the script with a limit on the number of import (in this case "3")...doesn't really get more simple than this...

PHP Code:

<?
require('rss_fetch.inc');

include('../config.php');
require(mnminclude.'link.php');

$rss_feeds=array (
        array(
                'url'=>"http://www.sfgate.com/rss/feeds/wine.xml",
                'category'=>8,
                'author'=>19,
//              'tags'=>'
        ),
        array(
                'url'=>"http://feeds.feedburner.com/VivisWineJournal",
                'category'=>9,
                'author'=>15,
//              'tags'=>'
        ),


echo "<ul>\n";
foreach ($rss_feeds as $feed ) {
$rss = fetch_rss($feed['url']);
echo "<li>Site: ", $rss->channel['title'], "<br>\n";
foreach ($rss->items as $item ) 
{

if ($i <= 3)
     {
        $item['author']=$feed['author'];
        $item['category']=$feed['category'];
 
        $title = $item[title];
        $desc= $item[description];

        echo "<ul>";
        echo "<li>Processing <a href=$url>$title</a></li>\n";
        rss_store($item);
        echo "<li>Finished Processing <a href=$url>$title</a></li><br><br/>\n\n";
        echo "</ul>";
    }
     $i++;

}
echo "</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";


function rss_store($item) {

        $linkres=new Link;

        $edit = false;
        $linkres->get(trim($item['link']));

        if(!$linkres->valid) {
                rss_error($item['link']);
                return;
        }

        if($linkres->duplicates($item['link']) > 0) {
                rss_error($item['url']);
                return;
        }
        $linkres->status='discard';
        $linkres->author=$item['author'];

        $linkres->title=$item['title'];
        $linkres->content=$item['description'];


        $linkres->id=0;
        $linkres->category=$item['category'];
        $linkres->randkey=rand(10000,10000000);
        $linkres->read();
        $linkres->status='queued';
        $linkres->store();
        return;
}

function rss_error($url){
        echo "Skipped $url <br/>\n";
}


?>
