<?php

header( ‘Content-type: text/xml’);

?>

<rss version=”2.0″>
<channel>
<title> WordPress </title>
<description> This is a test site for WordPress </description>
<link> phpprogrammerofbangladesh.wordpress.com </link>

<?php

mysql_connect( ‘localhost’, ‘root’, ” ) or die( mysql_error() );
mysql_select_db( ‘wordpress’) or die( mysql_error() );

$sql_query = “select ID, post_date, post_title, post_content from wp_posts ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0,5″;

$result     = mysql_query( $sql_query );
while( $row = mysql_fetch_row( $result ) )
{
?>
<item>
<title>       <?=htmlentities(strip_tags($row[2]));?>             </title>
<description> <?=htmlentities( strip_tags($row[3]) );?>           </description>
<link> http://localhost/wordpress/index.php?post_id=<?=$row[0];?> </link>
