Ok, so I’m de-Dreamweavering the Dojo web site and along the way I’m adding an RSS feed. And I’d like tro provide the RSS file with an XSLT stylesheet so it is viewable on a browser as a part of the web site. Easy enough, except that I can’t seem to get it to work in Firefox. I think that it’s the external entities in the XSL. I’d like to do the stylesheet in PHP but how do I send an “application/xml” content type in the response header?
[code=php]header('Content-type: application/xml');
// rest of parsing commands[/code]Error loading stylesheet:Is it possible that it is choking on the XML declaration?
An XSLT stylesheet does not have an XML mimetype:http://www.baltimoreaikido.com/rss.xsl.php [/quote]
[code=php]<?php
header('Content-Type: application/xml');
// ...
?>[/code]you're using php to generate the xsl template?That's exactly what I'm doing, but I get an error on line 2. The prolog of my XSL file is something like:
you will need to send a header for that as well[code=php]<?php[/QUOTE]
header('Content-Type: application/xml');
// ...
?>[/code]
<?php header('Content-Type: application/xml'); ?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><?php header('Content-Type: application/xml'); ?>How can someone with over 7000 posts call themselfs a noob? Ok, here's the problem. the PHP engine see this: [B]<?xml [/B] as a PHP short tag. Easiest way around this is to echo it with PHP.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>[/code][/QUOTE]

I just wish that there was a more elegant solution.[/QUOTE]Well I am guessing what you are doing... but... one option is to have your file containing no PHP but prepend a php file to it in htaccess. If this would be good for your project I will post how to do it. This could for example be done to all files of a certain type (css, xml, etc).

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll learn to live with it. Thanks.
erver-side scripting is hardly ever "elegant" looking.[/QUOTE]It is when you are using Perl
server-side scripting is hardly ever "elegant" looking.[/QUOTE]That's all down to who is writing the script.

It seems that neither my RSS reader nor my browser are picking up when I update the feed. Methinks I need an expiration date in the headers.

[code=php]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>[/code]and replace it with: [code=php]<?php
header('Content-Type: application/xml');
header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Expires: '.date("D, d M Y H:i:s GMT", time() - date('Z'))); // Now...
ob_start('ob_gzhandler'); // add gzip compression for good measure
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>'; // php chokes on this so it must be done this way
?>[/code]If you are bothered about the .xml extension use mod_write to correct that and the .xml URL will remain active. To do that just put the following in .htaccess.[code=php]<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^baltimore-aikido-news.xml$ baltimore-aikido-news.php
</IfModule>[/code]Regarding the etag... this will not automatically be sent any longer.[CODE]http://localhost/baltimore-aikido-news.xml
