All,
I was asked about using RSS within a particular site. After searching and reading a little over the past few hours I see how to create an RSS file, and how I could create such via PHP and a database on the fly.
What is involved with Joe User consuming an RSS file in a typical
html page? Or is this a strict PHP to PHP or PHP to some script thing?
There has to be some de-serializing process to parse the xml back into
text for inclusion into the standard plain html page.
Sorry if this is a `For Dummies` post, but am only 4 hours into the quest and thought perhaps you all might have some quick insites into this topic
that could shorten the RSS sojourn....

is your script providing or consuming a rss feed?
what's done with the xml data is usually up to the client and there are a lot of free rss reader (either stand-alone applications or integrated)

you might use a style sheet to let the client display the xml data in a more convinient way.
e.g. http://www.nisto.com/standard/rss/
with an xsl transformation you might do the same server-side (see also: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.php)
