merge_items()

Description

class SimplePie {
	merge_items ( array $objects,  [int $start = 0],  [int $length = 0])
}

This method merges the items from multiple SimplePie objects.

:!: If you're merging multiple feeds together, they need to all have dates for the items or else PHP will sort them to the top.

Availability

Available since SimplePie 1.0.

Parameters

objects (required)

An array of SimplePie objects.

start

The number of the item you want to start at. Remember that arrays begin with 0, not 1.

length

The number of items to return. 0 will return all. The start parameter is required if this is used.
