Help with feed PHP script

[proline]

hi all,
I really need your help with a small script syntax.

$FeedHeader = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>\n<rss version=\"2.0\" xmlns:creativeCommons=\"http://backend.userland.com/creativeCommonsRssModule\">\n<channel>\n<title>$FeedTitle</title>\n<link>$ScriptPath/index.php</link>\n<description>$FeedDesc</description>\n<atom10:link xmlns:atom10=\"http://www.w3c.org/2005/Atom\" rel=\"self\"  href=\"$ScriptPath/index.php\" type=\"application/rss+xml\"/>\n\n";

$FeedFooter = "<copyright>Copyright 2010 All Rights Reserved.</copyright>\n</channel>\n</rss>\n";

print $FeedHeader . $Items4Feed . $FeedFooter;

exit;

}

When I validate the feed I see that it is valid but with some errors:

"This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations."

Feeds should not be served with the "text/html" media type [help]


line 7, column 0: Use of unknown namespace: [url]http://www.w3c.org/2005/Atom[/url] [help]

    <atom10:link xmlns:atom10="http://www.w3c.org/2005/Atom" rel="self"  href="h ...

line 10, column 0: Missing atom:link with rel="self" [help]

    </channel>

Can anyone help please?

I have tried accessing the url http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom in my browser and it often times out. I'm not sure what this namespace is for, but expect that a validator might also suffer from a timeout and therefore fail.

As for the text/html media type, you can use the [man]header[/man] command in PHP to specify a different content type. You should probably use text/xml instead. You would need to use the header comment before you output anything at all from your script.

Incidentally, you might have noticed that the namespace is [font=monospace]http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom[/font], not [font=monospace]http://www.w3c.org/2005/Atom[/font].
