I am getting an error when attempting to access an RSS feed using Zend_Feed.
The error is as follows:
500 Internal Error
: exception 'Zend_Feed_Exception' with message 'DOMDocument cannot parse

My code is as follows:
<?
$content = "content:encoded";
$blogfeed =
Zend_Feed::import('http://www.otago.ac.nz/its/notices/notices.xml');
foreach ($blogfeed as $item) {
echo "<BR> \n ";
echo $item- link() . "> \n";
echo $item->title() . " <BR> \n";
}
?>
I am not having problems with other feeds. I saved the xml file locally and
when I tried to open it in Textedit (OS X) I got the following error:
The document “notices.xml” could not be opened. Text encoding Unicode
(UTF-8) is not applicable.
The file may have been saved using a different text encoding, or it may not
be a text file.
I resaved the file using UTF-8 and saved the file to a local web server.
After some trial and error I traced the problem to this line in the xml
file:
<title>Blackboard Service Incidents & Course Statistics</title>
If I manually removed the ampersand so the line is:
<title>Blackboard Service Incidents Course Statistics</title>
I can successfully use the feed. Obviously not ideal as I have no control
over the original source feed. I am pretty new to this so I am probably
missing something simple.
