$rss->cssStyleSheet='';
$rss->description = 'this feed';
$rss->link = CONFIG_SYSTEM_URL;
$rss->syndicationURL = CONFIG_SYSTEM_URL.'feed.php';


$articles=new itemList();  // list of stuff
foreach ($articles as $i) {   
    $item = new FeedItem();
    $item->title = sprintf('%s',$i->title);
    $item->link = CONFIG_SYSTEM_URL.'item.php?id='.$i->dbId;
    $item->description = $i->Subject;   
    $item->date = $i->ModifyDate;   
    $item->source = CONFIG_SYSTEM_URL;   
    $item->author = $i->User;
    $rss->addItem($item);
}

print $rss->createFeed($feedformat);
