Re: RSS scripting

Maybe this from the FAQ will help?.. <snip> 5.10 How am I supposed to mix XML and PHP? It complains about my <?xml> tags! You need to turn off the short tags by setting short_tags to 0 in your php3.ini file, or by using the php3_short_tags Apache directive. (You could even use a <File> section to do this selectively.) You can also disable and re-enable the short tags in your script using the short_tags() function. </snip> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Digital Hit Entertainment" <ianevans@friedspamdigitalhit.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, July 02, 2000 10:49 PM Subject: [PHP] RSS scripting > I wanted to automate the creation of RSS info so that when the bots from > my.userland.com and my.netscape.com came crawling it would dish up the > latest articles from our site. > > Seeing as I'm on a shared NT server and don't have any access to cron or > anything like that, I thought the script would just toss out the xml rdf > format and the results from the database.
