RSS to iCal Script/service?

Question

Can anyone how I might convert an RSS feed of events to an ical format so that I can import into Google Calendar?

Answer 1

If I had to do that Kind of thing, I would probably use something like :

• Zend_Feed_Reader to read the RSS feed
• and the ZF classes that allow to create google-calendar events -- see Using Google Calendar

The idea being that these classes should work fine, are well-tested and all that -- which means less time spent re-inventing the wheel and debugging : basically, the only thing you'd have to do is write a couple of lines of glue to :

• get the data from the first class
• and pass it to the second one

And, in both cases, the examples given in the manual should help quite a lot.
