RSS validation issue with the url

Expand Post »

I am trying to create an RSS feed dynamically with php, and for the most part it seems to work out right. When I try to validate, it gives me an error with this line:

RSS, Web Services and SOAP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<link><a href='index.php?tt=Getting it all together&m=1'>Getting it all together</a></link>
<link><a href='index.php?tt=Getting it all together&m=1'>Getting it all together</a></link>

And it points to the = between m and 1 as the issues. Can I not pass two variables with the url in a feed, or do I need some escape marker?

Re: RSS validation issue with the url

You might have to URI encode the & character. Validators for xhtml/xml/rss typically want ampersands to be encoded as

RSS, Web Services and SOAP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

&amp;

Give that a try.
