This is pretty much a ripoff of
nikolasco's OPML-generating script. There is, however, one major difference: mine supports friends-only authentication for feeds. I've already used it to import my LJ list to my feed reader - and all my friends-only friends show up now too.One word of caution - because this OPML feed will store your password, I don't suggest using it on a site designed to share OPML. In this case, you would be exposing your password to the world. Only use it for services that import OPML for private feed reading.
It's written in AJAX with a PHP backend to fetch your friends list. Why AJAX? Why is this any different? Well, because the OPML file is generated by JavaScript, your password never leaves the web page. As usual, source is included.
