#36680 [Ver->Csd]: PHP.net RSS Feed Does Not Validate

ID: 36680 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: niraj6 at yahoo dot com -Status: Verified +Status: Closed Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: This bug has been fixed in CVS. Since the websites are not directly updated from the CVS server, the fix might need some time to spread across the globe to all mirror sites, including PHP.net itself. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP.net better.

Reassigning as website problem. sean@iconoclast:~$ curl -I http://www.php.net/news.rss HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 17:12:43 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) PHP/5.1.3-dev Last-Modified: Thu, 02 Mar 2006 16:11:20 GMT ETag: "37ee1c7-554a-44071928" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 21834 Connection: close Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8 S ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-10 15:07:11] goba@php.net Two permanent errors. The content-type is text/plain and the encoding is bad in the HTTP headers. These can be permanently fixed. The other three errors are content specific. They should not have appeared two years ago, since these news items were not there two years ago. First recategorizing as a systems problem, so the .rss content type and encoding header can be fixed on www.php.net. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-10 14:03:16] niraj6 at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ As can be seen at: http://feedvalidator.org/check?url=http://www.php.net/news.rss The php.net RSS generator generates invalid RSS feeds. This renders the feeds unreadable in many RSS clients. I have tried it with RSS Bandit (rssbandit.sf.net) on which it is completely unreadable. Previous bug reports have been made dating back to 2004 which have been closed in 2004, stating the code has been fixed in CVS. It has been 2 years, but the fix does not seem to have propagated yet. Is that a fix for another issue or has the bug reappeared? Reproduce code: --------------- Simply go to http://feedvalidator.org/check?url=http://www.php.net/news.rss and scroll down to see the source code. Expected result: ---------------- The RSS should validate. Actual result: -------------- The RSS does not validate due to several errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36680&edit=1
