Having a hard time with an RSS feed

I'm having a hard time trying to syndicate my blogs. I want to create an RSS feed via PHP. So far, I have it running through all of the entries and spitting out <title> <link> <description> <time>. My problem is with the header. How do you declare those first few lines of <XML> and <RSS> and what version of RSS am I supposed to be using?!

Check out my feed from my website. Last time i checked it was a valid RSS feed.

Maybe you can use it as a basic example

Got trouble with your RSS have you now....

Suggest you pop along and read this http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/12/18/dive-into-xml.html should answer some of your questions.....or not as the case mybe.

And although this doesn't quite fit your PHP requirements I found this fantastic little program takes all the effort out of XML infact its dam right cheating.

Well CSCgal - to me, you are an IT Goddess! You have a script that partially works. You actually know something about the required scripting. You probably know what RSS stands for. I'm envious!

I know that RSS is useful, almost mandatory now, but what I need is the complete idiot's guide to setting up RSS so that MY content is syndicated. I've trawled Google at length, but writers can make English read like Swahili.

You know the kind of help I mean....really simple, like;

"You put the left leg in,
you put the left leg out,
you put the left leg in an' shake it all about,
You do the hokey-pokey and you turn around...
That's what it's all about"
