RSS Feed error.Pls Help

[hibuddy]

Hi

I have tried creating a rss.php file for my sit e. I just used the exact model which I found at one site. Ofcourse I used this model also. I got the following error on both cases. Please help me figure our what is wrong. I have been trying for 2 days now. Do I need to ask my web hosting company to add any MIME type?.

Error I got is
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in example.com/rss.php on line 1

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<rss version="2.0">

Your problem is probably the XML prolog - it uses a similar syntax to PHP so it can cause a parsing error. You can echo the XML prolog with PHP instead which sould solve the problem:

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

from memory - I hope I haven't made an error!
