create rss xml

I'm currently working on creating the xml feed since I had data ready
in my database after web data extraction. However, it has errors for
this line:

<xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1">

I was unable to solve this.

Since it's within a PHP document, you'd have to echo it, in case short
tags start trying to process the contents of the declaration:

echo '<?xml ... ?>';

<?xml .... ?>
echo '<?xml ... ?>';
Both these don't work as well. I tried with <?xml version="1.0"
standalone="yes "?also failed.

I'm saving this as .php file. Or could it be problem with setting or
anything else?

Disable short_open_tags .

In what way is it not working? PHP error? XML parse error? If so, post the
exact error you're getting.

Also, maybe releated, on the line with "<title>", you have an echo
statement in your document that isn't terminated by a semi-colon.

Caine,

Some interspaced comments. Probably not all of the errors, but it
should give you a start.

Is this supposed to be a PHP statement? If so, it won't work here.

It must be within <?php ... ?tags, and must appear before any output
(including the <htmltag, any whitespace, etc.).

Should be <?xml ...?>.
<rss version ="2.0">

Needs semicolon at the end of the PHP statement.

Should be <ttl>60</ttl>
<?php

//connect to database
$db = mysql_connect(" localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error ());
VERY BAD idea to connect with "root", especially with no password.
Major security vulnerability.
mysql_select_db ("bulletin", $db) or die(mysql_error ());

$day = date("Y-n-j");

//select queries
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `bul_data` WHERE `DATE` LIKE '{$day}%' ORDER by
`DEPARTMENT`";

The error statement i got is :

Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in C:\Program Files
\xampp\htdocs\p hprss.php on line 12

for this line : echo "<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes "?>";
doesn't work.

I had updated these lines:

<?php

header ("Content-Type: text/xml; charset=iso-8859-1");
echo "<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes "?>";

echo "<rss version ="2.0">";
echo "<channel>" ;
echo "<title>MMU RSS FEED Today: date("D, d-M-Y H:i:s")</title>";
echo "<link>http ://bulletin.mmu.ed u.my/</link>";
echo "<description>M MU RSS FEED</description>";

echo "<?xmlversion=\ "1.0\" standalone=\"ye s\"?>";

Or

echo '<?xmlversion=" 1.0" standalone="yes "?>'
Not working again. Got the error statement like this:

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://localhost/phprss.php
Line Number 7, Column 1: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes "?>
