Can you do RSS feeds on a local server? (PHP)

Question

I am using XAMPP and was wondering if I can code my site to include RSS feeds. Would the codes work and can I test it if I am working on a local server?

I am practicing using the OReily head First PHP/Mysql book and I'm on the chapter on RSS and getting RSS videos from youtube.

Answer 1

You can create a RSS feed and test it locally, no problem. In the end it is not different from testing your other pages besides that the URL pointing to the RSS feed does not return HTML but XML.
