I don't believe it's possible (Judging by a quick scan of the API docs and Zend_Feed) that the Zend Framework is able to create RSS and Atom feeds. If I'm wrong, which I hope I am, please someone tell me; if not, can someone shoot me in the right direction for a descent RSS & Atom feed creator.
I looked at XML_Feed_Parser, and it too seems to be JUST like ZFs; and you know if you do a google search it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Zend Framework and RSS???

Making an RSS feed is really damn simple. You can probably get by fine without a class or just make your own. All you need to in zend framework is to send out some custom headers, then echo out XML that conforms to RSS. Here is an example script.

Alright forget it, I'll put it on my idea list; when I'm bored enough one day I might create a ez to use class for both feeds (and maybe their diff versions).
As of now, to help the million people who ask this same question constantly (Why shouldn't they? It's web 2.0 isn't it??), I'll post TWO extremely helpful guides (Not classes but really understandable):
ATOM: http://haugland.ca/guides/24/
RSS 2.0: http://haugland.ca/guides/12/
Edit: That sounded mean... I'm not mad, promise.

RSS feeds are pretty simple, if you ask me. It's just markup. We don't *need* any external classes for writing HTML, so we really don't *need* any external classes for writing XML. Of course, since they are generated for updates and such, it's in your best interest to write one, but there are an infinite amount of tags that you could use, so boiling it all down to one class (that wasn't site-specific) may not be as useful as you may think it'd be.
