Because of a legacy system I have that produces an old RDF based RSS 1.0 Feed, and the inability of most of the RSS Readers to handle HTTP Basic Auth, I'd like to have a PHP script that reads this feed and produces an ATOM feed from it (as I have a nice reader here that can handle HTTP Auth, looks nice, but that sadly cannot cope with RSS 1.0).
Googling around for some time, I pretty much didn't find a lot. This is the code I tried right now, but the XSLT doesn't work, and I don't know anything about XSLT), and I got it from here. Getting behind the HTTP Basic Auth already worked, but I'll leave it in there:
$https_user = "thisismyhttpbasicusername";
$https_password = "thisismyhttpbasicpassword";
$https_server = "sometld.tld/dokuwiki/feed.php";
$opts = array('http' =>
array(
'method' => 'GET',
'header' => "Content-Type: text/xml
".
"Authorization: Basic ".base64_encode("$https_user:$https_password")."
",
'content' => $body,
'timeout' => 60
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$url = 'http://'.$https_server;
$xml = file_get_contents($url, false, $context, -1, 40000);
$xsl = file_get_contents("http://sometld.tld/minitools/rdf2atom.xslt");
$xslDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xslDoc->loadXML($xsl);
$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->loadXML($xml);
$proc = new XSLTProcessor();
$proc->importStylesheet($xslDoc);
echo $proc->transformToXML($xmlDoc);
This is the XSLT file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<items>
<xsl:copy-of select="//item">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy-of>
</items>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The output should be all elements, so I can wrap them with a element and have it be read by an RSS Reader that doesn't handle RSS 1.0 anymore.
The RSS that is produced by the system looks like this:
<rdf:RDF
xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/"
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"

Do you know a PHP based script that can transform the RSS 1.0 to an Atom formatted feed? Or can you correctify the XSLT I use? For reference, the actual output right now looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<items/>
