Having problem with RSS feed headers

[2levelsabove]

hello,

our rss feed is at http://alltherides.com/feed.xml

For some strange reason, when you go there it randomly either generates the feed correctly or shows just a text version of everything without any links.

Can anyone help us with this mess ?

Thanks

It seems to be sending text/html sometimes and application/xhtml+xml others.
Since this has a .xml extension, are you setting the headers with php?
Can you show the relevant code?

For rss feeds, I normally send the following headers:

<?php
//
header('Content-Type: application/rss+xml; charset=utf-8');

HTH.

thanks so much for your reply

Tried all 3 headers and still get the same random behaviour:

<?php
header('Content-Type: application/rss+xml; charset=utf-8');
//header("Content-Type: application/rss+xml");
//header("Content-Type: application/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1"); 




  $output.='?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?';

  $output.='>';



  echo $output;
  ?><rss version="2.0"
	xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
	xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"

It appears that our feed at http://alltherides.com/feed.xml is randomly being displayed in UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1

Whenever it is in UTF-8 it displays fine. WHen it is in ISO-8859-1 it shows up in just text form.

Any help at all ?????

We have used several headers like:

header('Content-Type: application/rss+xml; charset=utf-8');

but nothing seems to be working
