get_item_quantity()

Description

class SimplePie {
	get_item_quantity ( [int $max = 0] )
}

Returns the number of items in a feed. This is well-suited for for() loops.

Availability

  • Available since SimplePie 0.8.

Parameters

max

The maximum number of items to return. If there are fewer items in the feed than what max is set to, SimplePie will return the lower number. Setting a value of 0 will return the number of items in the feed.

Examples

Loop through each item and do something with each

<?php
require_once('../simplepie.inc');
 
$feed = new SimplePie();
$feed->set_feed_url('http://simplepie.org/blog/feed/');
$feed->init();
$feed->handle_content_type();
