creating an RSS .xml file using PHP

[gardan06]

i'm asked to do a program where user could make their own articles and convert it into an RSS Feed. the problem ive had is that when i use fopen("test.xml","w") and an XML file is created, its contents does contain the script you usually see in an RSS XML Feed but it doesnt output like an RSS Feed, but rather generates this error: "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\aaaa.xml on line 1"

this is my script:[quote]<?
$link1 = "http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/";
$link2 = "http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2005/11/27.html#a11433";
$link3 = "http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/";
$link4 = "http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/feed/";
$link5 = "http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2005/11/27.html#a11433";
$link6 = "http://scoblecomments2.scripting.com/comments?u=1011&amp;p=11433&amp;link=http%3A%2F%2Fradio.weblogs.com%2F0001011%2F2005%2F11%2F27.html%23a11433";
$text = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?>\r\n";
$text .= "<rss version=\"2.0\">\r\n";
