Installation

Extract the files in this ZIP archive to a folder on your computer.
FTP the files up to your server
Access index.php through your browser. E.g. http://example.org/full-text-rss/index.php
Enter a URL in the form field to test the code
If you get an RSS feed with full-text content, all is working well. :)

Configuration (optional)

Save a copy of config.php as custom_config.php and edit custom_config.php
If you decide to enable caching, make sure the cache folder (and its 2 sub folders) is writable. (You might need to change the permissions of these folders to 777 through your FTP client.)

Code example

<?php
// $ftr should be URL where you installed this application
$ftr = 'http://example.org/full-text-rss/';
$article = 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21936308';

$request = $ftr.'makefulltextfeed.php?format=json&url='.urlencode($article);

// Send HTTP request and get response
$result = @file_get_contents($request);

if (!$result) die('Failed to fetch content');

$json = @json_decode($result);

if (!$json) die('Failed to parse JSON');

// What do we have?
// var_dump($json);

// Items?
// var_dump($json->rss->channel->item);

$title = $json->rss->channel->item->title;
// Note: this works when you're processing an article.
// If the input URL is a feed, ->item will be an array.

echo $title;
