Hi All,
If you goto the following url [ http://news.php.net/group.php?
group=php.general&format=rss ] in IE you'll get the error:
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing
resource 'http://news.php.net/group.php?group=php.general&format=rss'.
Line
95, Position 78
with line 95 being

Its the accent on the e and o's (which are native to many west-european
languages). The solution is simple, set the encoding type.
Replace <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> with something along the
lines of <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes"
?>.
Setting it to UTF-8 would also be compatable with other languages outside
of the european group.
[please note: Im no expert or resource on the different encoding methods
but this appears to be the problem]
