Hello,
I have a old website that generate its own RSS everytime a new post is created. Everything worked when I was on a server with PHP 4 but now that the host change to PHP 5, I always have a "bad formed XML". I was using xml_parser_create() and xml_parse(...) and fwrite(..) to save everything.
Here is the example when saving (I read before save to append old RSS line of course).
function SaveXml()
{
if (!is_file($this->getFileName()))
{
//Création du fichier
$file_handler = fopen($this->getFileName(),"w");
fwrite($file_handler,"");
fclose($file_handler);
}//Fin du if
//Header xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"
$strFileData = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?><rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"><channel><title>'.$this->getProjectName().'</title><link>http://www.mywebsite.com</link><description>My description</description><lastBuildDate>' . date("r"). '</lastBuildDate>';
//Data
reset($this->arrData);
foreach($this->arrData as $i => $value)
{
$strFileData .= '<item>';
$strFileData .= '<title>'. $this->GetNews($i,0) . '</title>';
$strFileData .= '<pubDate>'. $this->GetNews($i,1) . '</pubDate>';
$strFileData .= '<dc:creator>'. $this->GetNews($i,2) . '</dc:creator>';
$strFileData .= '<description><![CDATA['. $this->GetNews($i,3) . ']]> </description>';
$strFileData .= '<link><![CDATA['. $this->GetNews($i,4) . ']]></link>';
$strFileData .= '<guid>'. $this->GetNews($i,4) . '</guid>';
//$strFileData .= '<category>'. $this->GetNews($i,5) . '</category>';
$strFileData .= '<category>Mycategory</category>';
$strFileData .= '</item>';
}//Fin du for i
$strFileData .= '</channel></rss>';
if (file_exists($this->getFileName()))//Détruit le fichier
unlink($this->getFileName());
$file_handler = fopen($this->getFileName(),"w");
fwrite($file_handler,$strFileData);
fclose($file_handler);
}//Fin de SaveXml
My question is : how do you create and fill up your RSS in PHP?
