rss feed

[luki123]

hi,

i have a question about creating a rss feed.

everything works fine except the <description></description>.

$row["articleText"] contains html code and hyperlinks to other websites. is there a way to display them as a link within the feed? i mean if someone subscribes to the feed all the links should be clickable.

 

 

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
  $items .= '<item> 
     <title>'. htmlentities(strip_tags($row["title"],’ENT_QUOTES’)) .'</title> 
     <link>http://www.hugeinc.com/news/index.php?ID='.$row["ID"].'</link>   
     <description>'. htmlentities(strip_tags($row["articleText"],’ENT_QUOTES’)).'></description>
  </item>'; 
}

 

 

 

<description>'.$row["articleText"].'></description>

its not working. i get the following error because articleText contains also " & "

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity -> &

 

<description><![CDATA['. htmlentities(strip_tags($row["articleText"],’ENT_QUOTES’)).']]></description>

Links are showed as normal text, because all the html tags are removed.

 

thanks
