Sorry I should have mentioned - I'm very familiar with php and sql so
I'm really just asking if its possible in theory. All I need is a
general overview of how it works.

Yes. Instead of outputting HTML as is most common, just output the XML
needed for an rss feed. Several XML packages can make it easier for you,
no strict requirement though: simple echo/print would do. So examine the
format in one of thousands of rss tutorials, make sure your PHP output
conforms to that format and you're done. (Well, output a right
content-type header, but that's it).

oh cool, I wasn't expecting it to be that easy! So rss readers don't
have any problem looking up a .php file?
