[SOLVED] Creating RSS/XML in PHP

[williamZanelli]

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to create a RSS file using PHP.

 

I have URL links, for some reason, the "=" sign seems to be messing up the whole thing,

 

See sample below, I get the error, which says it expects a ";" after the "=" - Does anyone know a way round this?

It's become soo irratating, that now I'd happily settle for a simple XML file, rather than a RSS - If anyone can point me in the right direction of a tutorial that will show me how to create an XML file, with items, such as above, please do so.

 

Thanks for your thoughts.

isn't that your & sign messing up things with the second = ?

Try using &

 

Or better yet, use url encode .

Thanks for the reply.

 

urlncode doesnt work in this instance, as I wnat to print the link in my doc,

 

So I used

 

str_replace("&","&",$url);

 

This works like a charm!!

 

Thanks for your posts.
