CaRP: Caching RSS Parser - Manual
Version 3.5.4 (10/7/2004)
Configuration is done by changing the values in the array $carpconf. You may change the defaults by modifying carp.php itsself. You may override the defaults for a particular RSS feed by inserting lines like "CarpConf('cachepath','/my/private/cache/path');" after the line where you "require_once" CaRP, and before calling CarpShow().

You may override the defaults for a particular RSS feed by inserting lines like "CarpConf('cachepath','/my/private/cache/path');" after the line where you "require_once" CaRP, and before calling CarpShow().
The following options are defined in $carpconf, and are color-coded based on the likelihood that you'll want to change them, as follows: usually changed, often changed, sometimes changed, rarely changed

XML Encoding
XML Encoding:
- encodingin: Specify the character encoding of the RSS feed. Valid values are ISO-8859-1 (the default), UTF-8 and US-ASCII. If the newsfeed specifies its own encoding, CaRP Koi and CaRP Evolution (but not CaRP GPL) will detect the encoding and override any value set here.
- encodingout: If you wish to have the output converted from the character encoding specified by "encodingin", specify which encoding you wish to convert to. Valid values are the same as for "encodingin".
