php/RSS question

Total newbie to RSS here...

I'd like to add "latest headlines" from Yahoo's RSS feed to my website,
but all I can find when I go looking for code examples is complete,
elaborate RSS aggregators and news readers. I don't need the whole
package, just some sample code for pulling and parsing the feed, or a
good tutorial that covers the basics. The only tutorials I've found so
far are about how to use existing aggreagators, and not how to actually
code the php.

Can anyone offer some suggestions for where I should look?

thanks,

We use Magpierss to parse RSS feeds, and if we want it to be dynamic, or
store multiple feeds where a user can add their own to your site we've
changed the code to include MySQL support. Out of the box, Magpie will parse
any RSS feed you want... start there and work up maybe?

http://pear.php.net/package/XML_RSS/ seems to do what you want. There's an
example in the manual at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/packag...ss.example.php that will
probably give you a feel for whether it's suitable.
