Hi all,

I'm trying to get create our podcast rss dynamically, and as such my code loops over a query to populate th <item> sectiosn fo the feed. If I output the 'theXml' variable on the page i created the code, the RSS feed is correct. However, when i write the file to a different location (newapod.xml) for some reason the </channel> and </rss> tags (last two lines of the file) vanish.

Can anyone suggest why this might be happening? Im Stuck!
Katie

    With that <cfsetting...> tag anything outside of
    <cfoutput>...</cfoutput> blocks are going to be ignored.

    Coldfusion 7 unfortunately and I'm still stuck on this :( the </channel> and </rss> tags just disappear, so my feed won't validate, this is so frustrating!!

    Hi,
    If you are using CF 8, try using the cffeed tag to create RSS feeds.
