PHP Generating an XML feed

not displaying as XML

[feralo]

i had arrived at the assumtion i could simply have a PHP file echo the (dynamically generated from a database)text of a properly formatted XML document- for an RSS feed. However, it doesn't seem to be working. it doesn't show up in my browser the way XML documents (RSS feeds) from other sites do when i browse to them.

Any suggestions?

It's normally just a case of...

header("Content-Type: text/xml")

...at the top of your script. Alternatively some people use:

header("Content-Type: application/xml");

After that it is, as you say, just a matter of splurting out correctly formatted XML and you should be in business.

Right on dmorison,
