Title: PHP fans... I need you [and CSS fans!]
Post by: vyper on July 11, 2005, 01:16:37 pm

Alright let's see... I'm trying to create an RSS feed. Right now, the php file that generates it looks thusly:

header('Content-type: text/xml', true);
$link =insert sensitive password stuff here

$sqlquer = sprintf("SELECT * FROM Content ORDER BY id DESC");
$result=mysql_query($sqlquer);
$nRows = mysql_num_rows($result); ?>





[url]http://www.CaledonianEnterprise.co.uk[/url]

To entertain the masses

for ($i=0; $i< $nRows; $i++){
$row = mysql_fetch_object($result);?>




Article"; ?>

}?>


 

Now the output looks like: http://www.caledonianenterprise.co.uk/rss2.php

Unfortunately when I call it up in Thunderbird as a news feed, all I get is one news item (Drop-In) and it's blank!

Any ideas?

edit: god damned PHP and CODE tags made half the rss code vanish

Yeah, BBs suck for posting HTML code.

I can't see anything wrong with the generated output, I expected to find a non-closed tag someplace, but couldn't. Maybe there's an errant caret or something in one of the posts that's screwing things up?

A ton of you have looked at the php file (vyper checked the server stats). So, c'mon people inspire me! :p

If that doesn't work now, you may hurt me.

Mine or his? Basically mine will not display in Thunderbird properly. It works in SharpReader bar a small character error.

Yours. I went to the RSS link you provided, Opera detected it was an RSS feed and prompted me to subscribe which I did and then it presented me with the usual email-style view of what I presume is the full feed:

Thanks man, it means I'm doing something right! :D

Must be a Mozilla specific bug...

Alright, anyone know why my CSS coded background image will sit properly in I.E.6 (fixed attatchment) but seems to shift about 50px up the way in Firefox?

Is the position hard coded, or relative?

The position of the layer is relative to the larger containing div that holds all in creation. The div itself is not moving, otherwise the text would be skew-if. So I'm stumped.

I was reading through the template that I used for my site, and the author said that the code he used was initially set to relative, but doing so didn't cooperate, so he had to settle for hard coded.
