Out of the Box RSS Parser?

I am looking for an RSS parser with a GUI interface that will let me simply input the RSS feed and have complete control over the out put through selections before generating the output.

I need PHP, JavaScript, and HTML or iFrame output.

Something similar to http://rss-info.com/en_rssinclude-simple.html but I need to be able to host it myself.

I am not an RSS expert, and have tried Magpie and Carp, neither of which I could completely figure out or understand.

Also, if possible, I would like the feeds to update more often than most RSS feds that I have found. I believe this is a CronJob? Help in that area would be much appreciated as well.

Thank you in advance.

Both, really. I want to display the RSS output on multiple sites. I need all 3 outputs mentioned because I will be displaying it on different websites with different permissions allowed. I would like to be able to display the feed, but also have a site similar to the one above, so I can quickly take a new feed and modify the output to fit different templates, etc.

Here is a full explanation of what I am needing it for:


What I need:
RSS feed from my forum to be able to be displayed on various sites which have different coding capabilities. For example, one site allows posting of javascript and HTML, the other site only allows HTML in an iframe.

Why I need it:
I have a fantasy football website, http://kansascityfantasy.com, for all the fantasy football leagues I play in. To keep it as organized as possible, I want to use the forums on my website instead of the message boards on the individual league websites. The problem it that some owners simply cannot grasp the idea of "do not use the message board on the league site." Other owners complain about messages being posted on two sites and keeping up with both of them, while many of the owners play in multiple leagues, they would rather us the forum, as would I.

What I have:
Site Type #1 - http://myfantasyleague.com - Demo: http://football5.myfantasyleague.com/2008/home/50763
RSS feed - http://kansascityfantasy.com/compone.../f,6/func,rss/
Used to convert RSS to javascript: http://www.rss-info.com/en_rssinclude-simple.html

Using various JS methods i have re-routed all the Message Board links to the KC Fantasy forum (links titled "KCAK Forum") and I have inserted a module with the RSS feed.

Site Type #2 - http://games.espn.go.com/frontpage/football - Demo: http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leagueo...&seasonId=2008
RSS Feed: http://kansascityfantasy.com/component/option,com_fbfeed/f,1/func,rss/
Used to convert RSS to iframe: http://www.rss-info.com/en_rssinclude-simple.html

Using iframe I have inserted the RSS feeds into the hompage of this league. It is not possible to deactivate the message board for ESPN.

My Problem:
1 - I would like to have greater control of the visual output, and include the date/time of the post.

2 - The RSS feeds do not update as often as I would like on either of the league pages. I think this deals with a cronjob, but have no idea how to set it up


What software can I use to create my own RSS to JS and RSS to HTML (iframe) to insert the RSS feeds into these sites with a refresh rate of 1-5 minutes or less? And what is the process. I am pretty much a noob when it comes to everything on the internet backend, but I can follow directions and ask relevant questions.
