Hi there - I might use a cron job (in future) to create static RSS files.

SUMMARY :-

:- I am auto-generating RSS page by PHP script...

:- I can access the RSS page via a reader - & it validates correctly..
My reader DOES 'get' the RSS feed ONE time...

However - If I update the web-page - & wait for the RSS database to
update - I tell my RSS reader to get new feeds etc.. / update itself -
however nothing happens..

(my reader is OK - As I am receiving other feeds ok...)

I am using PHP with this header :-

 if ($rss=="true"){
  header("Content-type: application/rss+xml");
 }


Im off to bed now / soon - But i'll update the page when I get online...

The feed is :-

(website)

http://updates.kwister.com/?sub=www

http://updates.kwister.com/?sub=www&rss=true


If you want to see my actual RSS code - its located :-

http://updates.kwister.com/?sub=www$rss=true&test=1

(this will show you the HTML/RSS code - without the rss header - in
your web-browser)



QUERY

Is my html / RSS code correct ? - I am following various RSS
tutorials.. - However my RSS reader doesnt retrieve the updated
information (apart from the 1st time) - I have had to delete & re-add
the RSS feed info - to get the information..

Any suggestions please - Thankyou....


Happy new year (6:41 a.m. - 1st Jan - Im off to bed now - Goodnight...)
