The SharePoint instance that I needed to get an RSS feed out of was behind an https layer. To accomplish this task, I used cURL to fetch the list. In addition, I needed cURL to not verify the security certificate on the site. Before you begin, you will need the URL to the SharePoint list (see $url below).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 | //Settings $url = "https://my.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite/_layouts/listfeed.aspx?List=listid"; $user = "username"; $pass = "password"; //Open file to be written to $temp_file = "/path/to/feed.xml"; $fp = fopen($temp_file, 'w'); //Initialize a cURL session $curl = curl_init(); //Return the transfer as a string of the return value of curl_exec() instead of outputting it out directly curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); //The URL to fetch curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url); //Force HTTP version 1.1 curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1); //Use NTLM for HTTP authentication curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_NTLM); //Username/password to use for the connection curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user . ':' . $pass); //Stop cURL from verifying the peer's certification curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); //Execute cURL session $result = curl_exec($curl); //Close cURL session curl_close($curl); fwrite($fp, $result); fclose($fp); |
I then use PHP’s simplexml_load_file() for parsing.
