Filtering RSS

Hello,

I have a client who would like to be able to "filter" RSS feeds either manually or by an automated script i.e., she could be notified when a new feed has been generated and determine if she would like to post it, or have a finely tuned script that passes only feeds relevant to the site. Would it be a better idea to have the feeds be inserted into a database and then manually added or deleted via an admin control panel? I have yet to incorporate RSS feeds into a website so I'm just trying to find out how this would be done.

Thanks,

Jason

You'll need to store something in the database in order to be able to detect new/modified feeds and query them for admin approval.

You'll need to store the feeds in the database if they will be coming from your site, or a link to them if your site will be linking to them.
