[SOLVED] displaying XML in PHP

[Decipher]

Hey evryone,

 

I am trying to create RSS Feed using PHP

but when i use

echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>"; i am getting nothing.

but if i use

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

it is displaying the the string

 

any suggestio??

I'd try

echo '<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>';

but that's just a guess, I've never really played around with xml... and definitely not both at once...

First Line you gave it is printing but next line it is not resulting in a improper XML :-(

 

Any more Suggestion..

I read bout rss classes also but most of the claasess are letting store the file in XML

but no one displays the XML within same PHP

 

???

You have short tags enabled on your server - ask them to switch it off. If they wont then you have to echo out any lne that starts with '<?' in your file.  If that fails then there is something amiss with your xml file.

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

 

That is correct. View the source of the page in your browser.

you might also try to send the header() for the XML so your browser would recognize it unless of course your page is .xml

@chigley

 

I checked the View Source in Browser

 

That is displaying the correct XML File only

Since the extension in the browser is not XML may be its stripping off the tags or....

 

@ ToonMariner

How  to disable the short tags..

 

@Rojay

 

if i try to send the header won't it will throw an errror header() already being passed..

 

 

[Rojay]

well thats why you need to set the header the first thing

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

 

try to add this before echo-ing anything

 

another thing is renaming the file to xml

 

and create ".htaccess" file and put this in it

 

<Files ~ "^[^\.]+$"> 
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php 
</Files> 
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .xml

but all the xml files in this directory will be treated as php files

Yups Rojay

 

Setting Headers worked for me...

Thanks...
