RDF to iCal converter (PHP script)

…which can easily be adapted to, say, RSS or shit. I wrote this with a particular RDF feed in mind, so you might have to tweak it, if you want to use it. Also, see the TODOs. <?php // GPLv3. // Parsing part copied over from PHP manual. // Also used RFC2445: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt // Distributed [...]
