I have a rss.xml file for my web site which works just fine, but has to be manually updated each time my web site blog is updated. Is it possible to insert a sql query in my rss.xml file so it can pull the updated info automatically from my mysql db?

I know the rss.xml file will have to be renamed with a .php extension, will it still work?

I think this is what you are looking forhttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/e.../xml-functions.html They are called XML functions that you can set up in an .php file to export the updated file name as rss.xml, though I think it will overwrite anything already in the .xml file.

If you care to dabble, you may already be a master, but there are some cool rss tutorials here http://www.w3schools.com/rss/

Hope this helps!
