RSS which is short for RDF Site Summary, is a news headline syndication system. Essentially a website owner can publish their headlines, including a title, description, url and image in an XML format that can be parsed and displayed. How you parse the XML is up to you.
If you don't have experience with XML we reccomend using PEAR's XML_RSS class. Using XML_RSS insulates you the programmer from processing the XML file thus allowing you to concentrate on displaying the results.
