[SOLVED] Echo echos extra character

[soycharliente]

I wrote this little thing ...
[code]<?php $rss = fetch_rss('http://www.example.com/feed');
foreach ( $rss->items as $item ) {
echo " <a href=\"{$item['link']}\" title=\"{$item['title']}\">" . $item['title'] . "</a>";
break;
} ?>[/code]

to go the the URL provided and grab the RSS feed and echo out the first post. It works perfectly except the link doesn't work. It renders as a link, blue and underlined, but when you put your mouse over, the text selecting cursor remains. It doesn't change to a hand like normals links do. I open the source code and find this...

[code]<a xhref="http://www.example.com/feed/Post+Title" title="Post Title">Post Title</a>[/code]

Notice the "xhref" in there. The code does not contain the 'x', but when the HTML is echoed out it shows up. Has anyone EVER seen this before? ANY help is very much appreciated.

EDIT: I should probably add that 'fetch_rss' is obviously not a basic function, but rather one that I wrote as well.

Are you using TinyMCE anywhere in the project?

[soycharliente]

Yes. That is the editor that it uses.

I've noticed before, when using TinyMCE in a project, manually typing HTML into it causes issues like this. I'm not sure if it is some kinda protection against users adding in rogue code or what, but I fix it at the output stage with some str_replace() 's. Either that, or check the documentation for a switch that disables this 'feature'.
