Mchl Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I wonder... maybe that's because code is inside CDATA section... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133765-dynamically-generate-xml/#findComment-696906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt22 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi osjimon, Did you make sure the file was named .htaccess? Also some hosts don't allow you to write .htaccess files so you might want to check that. I was able to get this working using this file: RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^test\.xml$ test.xml.php Hope some of that helped.
