Re^2: Seeking advice on generating a syndication feed

Am I correct in assuming then that you don't generate the XML feed on the fly, but rather save it off in a separate file?

That might be the solution to my performance worries, but I'll have to think about how to trigger an update of the RSS feed when appropriate...

Yes it's created every day in a cron and written to disk with the writeFeedToDisk() sub. You could change it so it only writes the file when the source data changes maybe with a database trigger. Had the same worries about aggregators and news readers hitting my feed too much for it to be created dynamically	[reply]
