I have no clue whether it's provided or not. I think it is probably provided, but the xml parser is not. I am not at all farmiliar with the free version of pMachine.

The problem is the RSS feed provided with pMachine is version .91. I am simply providing an easy way to use RSS 2.0.

This is also to note that future versions of pMachine will have the ability to create your own RSS feeds, so at that time, this hack will be obsolete.

Er, um, can I raise my hand and play the village idiot here for a moment? If RSS feeds aren't provided with pMachine, that's a not-too-difficult set of mysql queries to put together. I had to write something similar to take data from my database and transform it into a viable RSS feed, so I've probably got some code that could be reused.

If this is true, and RSS feeds really aren't made available as part of the free version of pMachine, color me dumbfounded and leave a comment here. As tinkering with the code I wrote will require a modicum of experience with PHP and mySQL, please make sure you have at least a base familiarity with both before you volunteer.
