Php Favorites

What it is...

Already a long time ago I developped a php script to search my own IE favorites. This week, I have improved it with a second script in order to export the search into RSS.

Download

You can find the 2 scripts here: PhpFavoritesDownload

In order to run it you need to have a apache + php configured on your pc. Edit the script and change the path to your favorites folder. Search for this line.

$favorites_folder="C:/Documents and Settings/declercj/Favorites";

Why Favorites.php ?

Because I like to seach into my several hundreds (300 to 700) favorites. See here http://jfdeclercq.blogspot.com/2006/12/php-favorites-screenshot.html

Why Favorites2rss.php

Because I use Netvibes at my web start page. So I can put my own bookmarks into Netvibes as a rss feed. See for instance http://www.lowas.be/Book/Internet.xml See how netvibes looks like : http://jfdeclercq.blogspot.com/2006/12/my-netvibes-home-page.html

Future

It's possible I'll use Del.icio.us more and more, which will make the favorite search obsolete. Also the search in favorites should be integrated directly in the brower (like in Mozilla for instance).
