How do you turn this code in to a RSS file, with out .htaccess? The <head> stuff isn't doing it, and what's the code for a php version of this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>The title</title>
<link>http:-/www.url.com</link>
<description>The description.</description>
<generator>URL</generator>
<item>
<title>Title text</title>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

You should be using the mime type

application/rss+xml

rather than the older

text/xml

for the feed. For the charset, the default for XML is UTF-8 (and you have declared it in the XML prolog anyway) but you can define UTF-8 specifically with a header like this:

<?php
header("Content-type: [b]application/rss+xml; charset=UTF-8[/b]"); 
?>
