There's a php script i'd like to auto populate posts with, but it does not have this feature built in.
Seems like their MUST be some simple and inexpensive solution.

Perhaps pulling RSS feeds, or uploading post entries via .csv files?
Any advice would appreciated
Thanks
 
Auto populate posts where?

If there's an API you can hook onto then that's ideal.

If not you're going to have to get creative.. perhaps use something like CURL, Selenium, so forth.

If you can upload posts via a csv file than you're already golden. It's easy to generate a csv file in PHP.
Pulling RSS feeds? Sure. Any public information can be scraped from the web.

You should look into databases though, as opposed to trying to organize with something like .csv files. A million times more powerful and capable. Do you have a WAMP/XAMPP server for testing (assuming you're on windows).

But if this is something more software or windows directed, then perhaps PHP is not the best solution.
