script outputs file twice, not sure why

I wrote a small script that will output information to an rss file. It worked fine, however I modified it to output to a randomly named file. Upon running the script it outputs two random files instead of just one. I've narrowed it down and for some reason its the while loop causing the problem. Not sure why though. The table im using just has three fields, id title date  where id is auto incrementing.

 

<?php

$link = mysql_connect('server', 'user', 'pw')
    or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';	
mysql_select_db('database') or die('Could not select database');

$xmldate = date("r");

$query="SELECT * FROM rss order by 'id' desc limit 0,100";

$result=mysql_query($query);

$body="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
<rss version=\"2.0\">
<channel>
<title>My Site</title>
<link>http://www.mydomain.com</link>
<description>My Description</description>
<copyright>(c)</copyright>";

$i=0;
while ($i < 100) {

$title=mysql_result($result,$i,"title");

$body .="
<item>
<title>$title</title>
<link>http://www.mysite.com</link>
<description><![CDATA[ my description ]]></description>
<pubDate>$xmldate</pubDate>
</item>";

$i++;
}

$body .="
</channel>
</rss>";

echo $body;

$ran=rand();
$path=$ran.".xml";

$filenum=fopen($path,"w");
fwrite($filenum,$body);
fclose($filenum); 


mysql_close($link);


?>
