Social Links via PEAR::Console

Totally Tabular

Console_Table provides:

setHeaders($headers)
addRow($row, $append = true)
insertRow($row, $row_id = 0)
addCol($col_data, $col_id = 0, $row_id = 0)
addData($data, $col_id = 0, $row_id = 0)


        <?php // -*- fill-column: 80; tab-width: 4; c-basic-offset: 4 -*-
require_once 'lib/magpie/rss_fetch.inc';
require_once 'lib/magpie/rss_parse.inc';
require_once 'lib/Console/Table.php';
define('NL', "\n");

/* using a local copy of the RSS file */
$file = 'del.icio.us.rss.tag.python.xml';
$rss_string = file_get_contents($file);
$rss =& new MagpieRSS($rss_string);

/* output to the console */
echo $rss->channel['title'] . NL;

$table =& new Console_Table();
$table->setHeaders(array('Title', 'Added'));
foreach ($rss->items as $item) {
    $title = substr($item['title'], 0, 50);
    $table->addRow(array($title, $item['dc']['date']));
}
echo $table->getTable();
?>

console output

Console_Table calculates line widths from cell contents — good for reports, bad for interactive use, hence substr()
Python feed shows duplicate links — link popularity (more data available with the REST API)
