Inserting Multiple Rss Feeds Into MYSQL With Simplexml

The document discusses inserting multiple RSS feeds into a MySQL database using SimpleXML in PHP. The code provided loads multiple RSS feed URLs into an array, then loops through each feed URL to parse it with SimpleXML. For each item in the RSS feed, it inserts title, description, link and publish date into the database. The code was not working when trying to parse multiple feeds, so suggestions were provided to fix it by looping through each feed URL separately before parsing the items.

Below is my code to parse multiple rss feeds into a mysql db. I do something wrong in the
foreach part I think, since there is no output. The db however, gets filled. When using 1
feed, the script works fine. Anybody sees what I do wrong? Many thanks in advance :)

$xml = simplexml_load_file($feeds);

foreach($xml->channel->item as $item)
{
$date_format = "j-n-Y"; // 7-7-2008
echo date($date_format,strtotime($item->pubDate));
echo '<a href="'.$item->link.'" target="_blank">'.$item->title.'</a>';
echo '<div>' . $item->description . '</div>';

mysql_query("INSERT INTO rss_feeds (id, title, description, link, pubdate)
