Dynamic XML File Problem

[ralphiooo]

Hi, i'm trying to create a google site map, i added AddType application/x-httpd-php .xml to my htaccess file and then put the following at the top of the siteindex.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

but it returns a parse error. I think it's the <? at the start but can't find a solution.

Appreciate if someone could help. Thanks

It should work if you echo out the declaration:

<?php
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>';
?>

Or make sure that short_open_tag is set to "off" in php.ini and use longer "<?php" to denote the beginning of a block of code.

Why would you want to force PHP to process XML files? If you're going to process the XML with PHP, use the simplexml extension (if you've got PHP5+) ... or the expat parser with lesser versions.

But vragabond is right; normally the <? is used to denote the start of a PHP code block; when you used the <? to start the XML declaration, the PHP parser figured it was supposed to interpret some code, and obviously failed.
