Now that you've got the browsers fooled with a .rss extension, go back and rip out all those silly echo statemnts :-) More seriously, unless this was just a test to make sure PHP was working you really don't even need PHP for 90% of what you typed... :-) I'm assuing you'll actually put more complex PHP code in there now, but I couldn't resist. More seriously, you probably should have some embedded newlines in there, even for the silly example that it is. As it stands now, your XML is one giant long line. Maybe XML parsers don't care, but the people who have to read your script output *DO* care. Take care that your PHP output is readable, as well as your PHP source. Your PHP output *IS* source, or it will be to somebody, somewhere, someday, if your site gets any traffic at all. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

go view-source in your browser. Some browsers will not show the xml all though it is in the source On 6/24/05, Brian Dunning [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What am I doing wrong? This doesn't work.

I'm ahead of you there - that's not the problem. IE6 just acts like I didn't request a page. Safari returns a “unknown error” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Often if nothing loads in the browser, it is an error causing PHP to not send anything to the web server, even its normal errors. If you are using IIS it might also be the ISAPI module which has been notorious for stability.

Re: [PHP] Can't even make a simple test RSS feed
Well, I don't know if I have the solution, but when the page has the ..php file extension it doesn't work. But when it has the .rss file extension, it works. It's the workaround I found. Safari doesn't return an error now. I've tested the script under MacOSX 10.4.1 with Apache 2.0.54 and PHP 5.04. Hope this will help you.
