I am thinking of implementing something like that in http://islandinfo.mu website.

It’s really nice the way you have arranged those php codes, it’s easy to understand and use it.

Thanks

There are many ways to parse the feed you create. I have a simple example here: http://www.stemkoski.com/how-to-easily-parse-a-rss-feed-with-php-4-or-php-5/ or you can use the built in XML functions in PHP. If you are getting an error not saying the XML is not well formed there is probably some sort of error with your coding or the data within the code. Try to determine where the error is and run htmlentities() on the data prior to building the feed. Also make sure there are no invalid characters in your content: http://www.stemkoski.com/php-remove-non-ascii-characters-from-a-string/.

Wow, thank you very much. I searched for a solution to enable my feed to precisely track its amount of readers, and your line in .htaccess seems to solve all my problems.

Cool!
