Scraping Links from DMOZ

[Burt]

I can't get any of the ones to work on here, I used this method before but it was a pain in the but to convert the sql output file into a readable form for the script I was using before.

Can anyone take this and convert it so that it works with this script? This will work and does work with DMOZ.

That one exported properly but when I put export.php in my browser nothing happens at all. I tested in on a really small category...... got me.

Did you see my next reply?

[Burt]

Yes, but when I put the rss feed into the script it just says that there are no links found in the RSS Feed???

[David]

hmmm...maybe the RSS import function is not working perfect.
There are many different feeds out there, and the syntax varies a lot. We've spent a lot of time on NewsTopica with this.
