====== View XKCD Atom Feed Raw, to Reveal ALT Text ======

Do you like the web comin [[http://xkcd.com/|xkcd]]? Have you noticed the ''alt'' and ''title'' attributes on the images that contain a sort of second punch line? Do you like to read xkcd in a browser such as Opera Mini that doesn't have an easy way to let you read the alt text?

Well, then this script is for you!

<code php xkcd-rss-raw.php>
<?php

header("Content-type: text/plain");

echo
"Here is the contents of the XKCD Atom feed, so you can see\n" .
"the ALT text in browsers that don't support it.\n";

$text = file_get_contents("http://xkcd.com/atom.xml");
$text = eregi_replace("<\?xml.*\?>\n", "", $text);
$text = ereg_replace("<", "\n<", $text);
$text = ereg_replace(" alt=\"", "\nalt=\"", $text);
$text = ereg_replace(" title=\"", "\ntitle=\"", $text);
echo $text;
?>

It's not pretty, but it gets the job done in a handful of lines of code, so I'm satisfied.
