[SOLVED] Running php on .xml file error

[cunoodle2]

First off I added the following to my .htaccess file..

 

AddType application/x-httpd-php .xml

 

Through using php "echo" statements I have the following showing up when I go to view source..

 

File info.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<person>

<firstname>Jason</firstname>

<lastname>Anderson</lastname>

<age>21</age>

<hometown>Anytown</hometown>

<job>programmer</job>

</person>

 

I can see the above when I go to "view source" but for some reason the browser doesn't even pick it up as a .xml file.

 

If I go to my .htaccess file and remove the line "AddType application/x-httpd-php .xml" and literally copy & paste the above quoted xml info it shows up perfectly fine in a standard .xml file and the browser picks it up as a standard .xml file.

 

What am I missing here?

You could do:

 

 

header("Content-Type: text/xml");

 

 

 

Or you could do the htaccess equivalent.

the .htaccess did not solve the issue at all but the "header("Content-Type: text/xml");" did the trick.  You ROCK.  Thanks for the assistance.
