Dumb question for XML and PHP

[Aravinthan]

Hi guys,

I want to read a MYSQL data and then output it as a XML file....

 

Easy right?

 

Well, I reduced the coding to this simplest thing:

 
<?php

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

echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>";

echo "<slide_show>";
    echo "<photo>./images/DCP_0730.jpg</photo>";
echo "</slide_show>";

?>

 

But it still doesnt work.

 

In Firefox I get:

  Quote

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

Location: http://liguedhockeysimule.x10hosting.com/default.xml

Line Number 7, Column 7:

echo "<slide_show>";

------^

 

In IE 8 I get:

  Quote

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://liguedhockeysimule.x10hosting.com/default.xml'....

 

echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>";

-------------------------------------------------^

 

 

 

 

I looked and looked, still cant seem to find the error....

I am pretty sure it is really a dumb mistake that I made somewher  :oops:

 

But I cant find it,

I changed the code to single qutoes, back to to double....

But I guess I need to    or something....

You can't imagine how stupid I feel lol

Thanks for your help,

Ara

You have saved this as a php file, and are serving it through a webserver via PHP, right? The errors you have posted indicate that your script is not being interpreted by the PHP engine.

 

The script you have posted works fine for me...
