<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Lib16\RSS\Channel;
use Lib16\RSS\RssMarkup;

$channel = Channel::create(
    'RSS Title',
    'This is an example of an RSS feed',
    'http://www.example.com/main.html'
);
$channel
    ->pubDate(new DateTime('2010-09-06 00:01 +0'))
    ->lastBuildDate(new DateTime('2009-09-06 16:20 +0'))
    ->ttl(1800);

$channel
    ->item(
        'Example entry',
        'Here is some text containing an interesting description.',
        'http://www.example.com/blog/post/1'
    )
    ->guid('7bd204c6-1655-4c27-aeee-53f933c5395f', false)
    ->pubDate(new DateTime('2009-09-06 16:20 +0'));

RssMarkup::headerfields('example');
print $channel;

… generates the following output:

<rss version="2.0">
