I got the following error,
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource
when I dynamically created xml file using php.The encoding I used was utf-8.I changed it to ISO-8859-1.The error resolved.But the issue is I am having tamil,hindi content So it is displayed as
à®à®à¯à®°à®¾-à®à¯à®à¯à®à¯-
header('Content-Type: application/xml'); echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'."\n"; ?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84"> <?php $sql = "SELECT * FROM table "; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { ?> <url> <loc>http://example.com/<?php echo $row[2]; ?></loc> <lastmod><?php echo str_replace(' ', 'T', $row['dat']).substr(date("O"), 0, -2).':00'; ?></lastmod> </url> <?php } ?></urlset>
How to solve this?

adding code from comment below:
<?
header('Content-Type: application/xml');
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'."\n";
?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">
<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table ";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
?>
<url>
<loc>http://example.com/<?php echo $row[2]; ?></loc>
<lastmod><?php echo str_replace(' ', 'T', $row['dat']).substr(date("O"), 0, -2).':00'; ?></lastmod>
</url>
<?php } ?>
</urlset>
ISO-8859-1 does not have the coverage over hindi and tamil alphabets

lastmod, changefreq, priority
<?php
define('DBHOST','localhost');
define('DBUSER','user');
define('DBNAME','rss');
define('DBPWD','password');
$connect = new MySQLi(DBHOST,DBUSER,DBPWD,DBNAME)or die(mysqli_error());
header("Content-Type: text/xml;charset=iso-8859-1");
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
<urlset xmlns=\"http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9\">";
{
$query = $connect->query("select * from rss");
while($row=$query->fetch_array(MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$url = $row["link"];
$time = $row["when"];
$lastmod = $time;
$datetime = new DateTime($lastmod);
$timeresult = $datetime->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:sP');
echo "<url>
<loc>$url</loc>
<lastmod>$timeresult</lastmod>
<changefreq>hourly</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
";}}
?>
</urlset>
like this the output does not give error anymore
it does pass google validation
thanks you
so I am wondering why this error is showing up. Ive see this work before but all I did was modify the query a bit. For some reason when I get rid of the php loop it works only with the url and loc tags with php inside them. Some help would be great! There error is on line 31 which is right before the php query and loop start.
<?php
header('Content-type: text/xml');
include 'core/init.php';?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/1.0">
<url>
<loc><?php echo $settings['url']; ?></loc>
</url>
<url>
<loc><?php echo $settings['url'] . 'login'; ?></loc>
</url>
<url>
<loc><?php echo $settings['url']. 'register'; ?></loc>
</url>
<url>
<loc><?php echo $settings['url'] . 'sponsored'; ?></loc>
</url>
<url>
<loc><?php echo $settings['url']. 'premium'; ?></loc>
</url>
<url>
<loc><?php echo $settings['url']. 'contact'; ?></loc>
</url>
<url>
<loc><?php echo $settings['url']. 'about'; ?></loc>
</url>
<?php
$result = $database->query("SELECT DISTINCT `slug` FROM `categories`");
while($row = $result->fetch_object()){
?>
<url>
<loc><?php echo $settings['url'] . 'category/' . $row['slug'] . '/'; ?></loc>
</url>
<?php } ?>
</urlset>
Thanks!
I figured it out. I had some errors in my echo statement. I had to use " instead of ' where it says category/ and just /
Have a PHP file which is making RSS feeds it is giving error because of the space appending before the output XML file. I have checked the code and the variable containing the variable $s which is making XML file does not have any white space before it.
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/xml; encoding=UTF-8");
$s = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><rss version='2.0'><channel>";
echo ltrim($s);
foreach($this->results as $row)
{
$title=$row->name;
$description=$row->description;
echo "<item><title>$title</title><link>$link</link><description>$description</description></item>";
}
echo "</channel></rss>";
?>
Make sure no white space before <?php
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/xml; encoding=UTF-8");
$s = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><rss version='2.0'><channel>";
echo ltrim($s);
foreach($this->results as $row)
{
$title=$row->name;
$description=$row->description;
echo "<item><title>$title</title><link>$link</link><description>$description</description></item>";
}
echo "</channel></rss>";
?>
I have this error in my rss.php
XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://blah.com/blah/blah/site/rss.php
Line Number 1, Column 3:
and this is shown underneath the error
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss version="2.0"><channel><item><title>xzfbcbcxv 123</title><description><p>Description for the rss feed</p></description></item></channel></rss>
The
----------------^
is show between the left side of the page and the ?xml line.
In my rss.php I have
<?php header("Content-type: text/xml"); ?>
<?php include("includes/database.php");?>
<?php global $_TWITTER_TABLE, $_HTTP_ADDRESS, $_NEWS_TABLE; ?>
<?php $str = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'; ?>
<?php $str .= '<rss version="2.0">';?>
<?php
$str.='<channel>';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $_NEWS_TABLE LIMIT 5";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ($sql."".mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$str.= '<item>';
$str.= '<title>'.$row->title. '</title>';
$str.= '<description>'.$row->content. '</description>';
$str.= '</item>';
}
$str.= '</channel>';
?>
<?php $str .= '</rss>';
echo $str;
?>
You have a lot of white space before the declaration. You need to remove it. This can be caused by having closing PHP tags followed by spaces or tabs or new line at the end of included files. You can prevent this by just not closing the PHP tags.
Second look, remove all the closing tags at the top of your document:
<?php // make sure that this is the first character in the file, no spaces before it
header("Content-type: text/xml");
include("includes/database.php");
global $_TWITTER_TABLE, $_HTTP_ADDRESS, $_NEWS_TABLE;
$str = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';
$str .= '<rss version="2.0">';
$str.='<channel>';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $_NEWS_TABLE LIMIT 5";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ($sql."".mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$str.= '<item>';
$str.= '<title>'.$row->title. '</title>';
$str.= '<description>'.$row->content. '</description>';
$str.= '</item>';
}
echo $str;
Also, just a note, the mysql_* functions are deprecated due to security problems. You may want to look at mysqli and PDO
I just remove the space from the top of wp-config file and its works for me...
This could be a problem with the XML parsing White-Space.
I'm also faced this problem, remove all unwanted line spaces in your code,i mean remove all unwanted line spaces before and after the php tags.
There can be more reasons but 95% this is the reason of blank space after or before php tags. <?php ?> .
