By popular demand, I have authored this document to help loadaverageZero visitors
understand how the dnews application was built with MagpieRSS, PHP and MySQL. If
you are comfortable with these open-source tools, then you should have no
problem grasping the logic from reading the source code. I will provide links to
the code and data as I describe how they work together to build the interface.
There are only two simple MySQL tables that make up the backend of the dnews
application: news, from which the "channel selector" menu is built, and feed,
which holds some details about each RSS channel. The two are bound together by
a foreign key.
