valid rss feeds?

[lawrence]

I'm trying to write a PHP script that will make a valid RSS feed for
my weblog. You can see what the script is currently outputting:

http://www.krubner.com/rss/page1907.xml

This doesn't validate at this validator:

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.krubner.com%2Frss%2Fpage1907.xml

It says I need to add a content type. Would it work if I changed the
first line of the RSS feed to this:

<?xml version="1.0" contentType="ap plication/xml; charset=UTF-8"?>

I think it is the server that has to set the content-type header to XML.

You may want to take a look at this popular RSS writer class that
generates and serves RSS documents properly:
