In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to generate a feed using Php  that can be displayed from a website in multiple formats, including Atom 1.0 and RSS 2.0.  I will be using functionality from the Php FeedWriter class library  to generate the feed, which is available for free  at http://phpFeedWriter.webmasterhub.net/. I have broken up the process below into separate components, and provided additional information to help you learn each aspect of creating the feed using Php.  A download of the completed script written in this tutorial is also provided if required.
