xml feed

Hi there.

Thanks for posting!

The reason you are getting those errors is because the page has PHP code on it but has an XML extension. If you view the source on your pages, you'll see that the PHP is getting displayed too. What you'll need to do is add rename the files to:

trulia.xml.php
streeteasy.xml.php

That will get the PHP code to actually run and your XML will be much better.

Give that a shot and let me know how you make out. Thanks!

Also, I removed your attachments and links as they had database passwords in them.

Hi Randy,

There's some PHP errors in the code:
- this die("Could not connect: ' should be die("Could not connect: "
- You need to close your PHP tag before <?xml like this ?> <?xml
- and there's just a lot more PHP code that needs to be written.

Also, please be careful not to post PHP files with your database passwords as this is a public forum and you don't want everyone to know those.
(I've removed your attachments)

I'd recommend starting with the RSS feed example here:
http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/rss_feeds.html

Or having us doing this as a custom job for you.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,

Thanks for getting back to me. I actually do have an rss feed up and running:

feed://www.hamptonhomesre.com/cmsAdmin/rss.xml.php

The problem is the RE agencies said they couldn't take that they wanted a XML feed.

Hi Randy,

Well that would make a good starting point. RSS is actually XML as well. XML is just the data format where you have <tags>around things</tags> like that.

We'd done some feeds like that before, you just need to make your tags match theirs.

Hope that helps!

I am confused. I made the rss feed and it works I sent you the link and the link of the xml feed that I have that doesn't work which includes their tags like you mentioned.

can you help me figure out what I am doing wrong or can I hire you to fix it?
