  if($rss){
    $text = "";
 
    $text .= $rss->channel->title."\r\n \r\n \r\n";
 
    $items = $rss->channel->item;
 
    foreach($items as $item){
        $title = $item->title;
        $link = $item->link;
        $published_on = $item->pubDate;
        $description = $item->description;
 
        $text .= $title."\r\n";
        $text .= $published_on."\r\n";
        $text .= $description."\r\n \r\n";
    }
 
    $handle = fopen($file, 'w');
    fwrite($handle, $text);
    fclose($handle);
  }
 
  return false;
}
 
$url = "http://rubensargsyan.wordpress.com/feed/"; // Rss url
