this might be a database question, if it is please move it.
here is what i have

Code:

<enclosure url="http://www.myfreetrainer.com/ipod/male/barbellbenchpress.m4v" length="5350034" type="audio/x-m4a" />

this is what i want

PHP Code:

echo "\r\n\t<enclosure url='". $myfreetrainerInfo['ecloseurl'] ."". $myfreetrainerInfo['id'] ." length=". $myfreetrainerInfo['length'] ."  type=". $myfreetrainerInfo['type'] ."' />\r\n"; 

but for some reason the length and type are not being displayed properly.
the length is set up as a "mediumint(7)"
and the type is set up as a "text"
any thoughts on how i can get it display like the CODE VERSION in PHP would be great. i feel that am missing one small rule or something like that.

Try this:

PHP Code:

echo'\r\n\t<enclosure url="'. $myfreetrainerInfo['ecloseurl'] ."". $myfreetrainerInfo['id'] .'" length="'. $myfreetrainerInfo['length'] .'" type="'. $myfreetrainerInfo['type'] .'" />\r\n'; 

Your quoting was a bit wired, get a good editor with propper highlighting...

Note that \r\n\t between single quotes won't be parsed as might expected.

thankx Ghezus-

PHP Code:

   echo "\r\n\t<enclosure url='". $myfreetrainerInfo['ecloseurl'] ."". $myfreetrainerInfo['id'] ."' length=". $myfreetrainerInfo['length'] ."  type=". $myfreetrainerInfo['type'] ." />\r\n"; 

yep thankx i was right behind you.
only thing is i am getting this error any thoughts
does not seem to be a valid podcast url.
i am guessing because the file ends in php. i know the rss feed works cause i can see it when i view it on the browsers. but i am wondering if anyone knows a trick to confusing itunes to thinking this is a valid podcast url.
once this is solved ill post it on this site and then everyone can save 25 bucks when wanting to make a automatic pod casting service for your sites.
similar to what these dudes are selling.

Yep. For the life of me I don't understand why more people don't use the HEREDOC syntax:

PHP Code:

print <<<EOM



anything goes here, $variables etc somearray[5], etc



EOM; 

It solves all those odd quoting problems and is easier to read.

if print <<<EOM
was used would there be no need for other echo's through out the page?

o' i also figured out how to get the server to read a xml file as php. but now it only reads part of it. so i am thinking ill give the EOM thing try.
this is how you get it to read xml as php in case any one was curious.
find the (vhost.conf file) and inside of it place this
AddType application/x-httpd-php .xml
carefull to put in the correct place or all your files tha tare .xml will be read as php.

In a word, yes. Take a look here:
