PHP to xml for RSS Feed

I posted this thread in xml and rss and got no replies so i'm trying here .... Please Help.

I have created a php page that outputs an rss feed as it should look in an xml file. What I need to know now is how to make it readable as a feed?

What I have now can be viewed at:

Any help would be appriciated and thank you all in advance.

 

try this at the top of php page

header ("content-type: text/xml");

But it seems you are using htmlentities() or htmlspecialchars type of function otherwise why would < get converted to &lt;??

 

Ok I will post the code and the result so that everyone can see where the result is comming from.

Code:

<?php
header("content-type: text/xml");

echo "&lt;?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\" ?&gt;<br />";
echo "&lt;rss version=\"2.0\"&gt;<br /><br />";

echo "&lt;channel&gt;<br />";
echo "&lt;title&gt;Mofiki WorldWide RSS Feed&lt;/title&gt;<br />";
echo "&lt;link&gt;http://www.mofikiworldwide.com&lt;/link&gt;<br />";
echo "&lt;description&gt;Articles about Mofiki WorldWide, Website design, development, Search Engine Optimization, and Hosting. This Feed will also have tutorials about said categories.&lt;/description&gt;<br /><br />"; // What its about


include('connect.php');
$q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM blog ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5") or die(mysql_error());
while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($q))
{


echo "&lt;item&gt;<br />";
echo "&lt;title&gt;".$r['title']."&lt;/title&gt;<br />";
echo "&lt;link&gt;http://www.mofikiworldwide.com/viewblog.php?blogid=".$r['id']."&lt;/link&gt;<br />";
echo "&lt;description&gt;".$r['message']."&lt;/description&gt;<br />";
echo "&lt;author&gt;Brandon Orndorff&lt;/author&gt;<br />";
echo "&lt;pubDate&gt;".$r['date']."&lt;/pubDate&gt;<br />";
echo "&lt;/item&gt;<br /><br />";
}


echo "&lt;/channel&gt;<br />";
echo "&lt;/rss&gt;<br />";
?>

Code (markup):

And the result can be seen at:
