RSS Feeds creation driving me nuts! Please Help!

[brent123456]

I can seed to get anything more then the Title and the Description to print out in Firefox and IE. I can't for the life of me figure out why? I am not getting any of the items to print out in the Browser under the title and discriptions. Please help. I add this line to the apache configure file AddType application/x-httpd-php .xml and restarted and still nothing. This is driving me nuts please help. ???

 

<?php
  
  require_once ('mysql_connect.php'); //connection page
  
  $query ="SELECT * FROM product_table ORDER BY date_Posted DESC LIMIT 0,2";
  
  $rsstitle = 'The Products';
  $rssdesc = 'View the newest Products';
  $rsslink = 'http://www.example.com;
  
  if ($result = mysql_query($query)) {
    header("Content-Type: application/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1"); 
    $output .= "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n";     
   $output .= "<rss version=\"2.0\">\n";
    $output .= "<channel>\n";
    $output .= "<title>".$rsstitle."</title>\n"; // the title of the feed
    $output .= "<description>".$rssdesc."</description>\n"; // small description
    $output .= "<link>".$rsslink."</link>\n";
      
   $output .= "<product>\n";
      
   while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {  
    $output .= "<item>\n";
    
    $output .= "<title>\n" . htmlentities(strip_tags($row['name'])) . "</title>\n";  
    $output .= "<date>" . htmlentities(strip_tags($row['date_Posted'])) . "</date>\n";
    $output .= "<type>" . htmlentities(strip_tags($row['product_type'])) . "</type>\n";
    $output .= "<environment>" . htmlentities(strip_tags($row['environment'])) . "</environment>\n";
    $output .= "<discription>" . htmlentities(strip_tags(substr($row['discription'],0,140))) . "</discription>\n";
    
    $output .= "</item>\n";
    
   }
   
   $output .= "</product>\n"; 
   $output .= "</channel>\n</rss>\n";    
    echo $output;   
      
  } else {
      
   $output .= 'Sorry, We can't get a product at this time.';   
   
   echo $output;   
  }
  ?>

Figured it out.

You can only have tags that are recognized by rss.

Like <item>

<title></title>

<pubDate></pubDate>

<discription></discription>

<link></link>

</item>

 

It is not like XML and won't read your custom tags. Once I added these all was fine.
