Now that you've got the browsers fooled with a ".rss" extension, go back
and rip out all those silly echo statemnts :-)
More seriously, unless this was just a test to make sure PHP was "working"
you really don't even need PHP for 90% of what you typed...
:-)
I'm assuing you'll actually put more complex PHP code in there now, but I
couldn't resist.
More seriously, you probably should have some embedded newlines in there,
even for the silly example that it is.
As it stands now, your XML is one giant long line.
Maybe XML parsers don't care, but the people who have to read your script
output *DO* care.
Take care that your PHP output is readable, as well as your PHP source.
Your PHP output *IS* source, or it will be to somebody, somewhere,
someday, if your site gets any traffic at all.
