All I am trying to do is create an XML feed so that I can submit it to a site. However no matter what I do (albeit with my limited size of brain) all I get are errors. It hates pound signs and apostrophes even if I try the only thing I know which is string replaces.
Please someone help. I will post this in the PHP section too.
