php为RSS feed生成xml但无法解析它，因为该文件是php

Question

Hi Im trying to create a news feed using php. I have a php code written which connects to the database and retrieves information which is converted into XML. The file is however a .php and when I try to parse it using google reader it dosen't work because it only reads files which are XML. Here's my code:

<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
$dept = $_GET['dept'];
require_once ("/var/www/html/http/sass/includes/config.inc.php");
require_once ("sass_news.php");
$sassNews = paginate('sass_news', 'sass_news', $numResults, $offset, $order, $condition);
if($sassNews) {
    $xml_output = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
";
    $xml_output .= "<entries>
";

        foreach($sassNews as $newsDetail){
        $xml_output .= "\t<entry>
";
        $xml_output .= "\t\t<date>" . $newsDetail->news_start_date . "</date>
";
        $xml_output .= "\t\t<text>" . $newsDetail->news_body_en . "</text>
";
        $xml_output .= "\t</entry>
";
     }

    $xml_output .= "</entries>";

    echo $xml_output;

}
?>

Try header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=somename.xml'); at the top of the script. However, if Google Reader is going to allow only URLS which literally end in .xml, then you'll need to reconfigure your server to treat .xml files as PHP scripts and rename this script to whatever.xml.
