Bug #26997 RSS Feed Error from php.net
Submitted: 2004-01-21 13:42 UTC Modified: 2004-01-22 12:01 UTC

Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
Perhaps I am just new to RSS, but it appears to me that the RSS feed from the php.net site is out of sync with the news on the site.  The news item attached as xml code below still appears in the RSS feed, but the description element is blank, and the link is dead, which makes it look like my site is broken when I use the feed to reproduce the php.net news.  The news item has been removed from the php.net home page.  

I use a very simple parser that I have modified from a Zend tutorial.  Your RSS feed worked fine on my parser yesterday.  Perhaps your content management system needs tweaking to keep the RSS feed in sync with the home page of the site.  

Reproduce code:
---------------
- <item rdf:about="http://www.dotgeek.org/about.php?type=certify">
  <title>DotGeek Certification Programme</title> 
  <link>http://www.dotgeek.org/about.php?type=certify</link> 
  <description /> 
  <dc:date>2003-01-19</dc:date> 
  </item>


Expected result:
----------------
Running the rss feed through my parser I should be able to reproduce the news items that show on the home page of php.net (without the images).  

Actual result:
--------------
When I run the current rss feed through my parser I get a broken news article included in my list (the dotgeek certification program) that should not be included.

There is also an extra "*/?> "  in the second news item in the RSS feed.  Perhaps someone commented out something in the script that generates the RSS feed, but did not see that there was an internal comment in the commented section.

Should be fixed in CVS, the next RSS backend generation should be fine. Can you confirm it tomorrow ?

thanks !

This is confirmation that the bug is fixed as far as I can tell from today's rss feed.  
Thanks for the quick reply!
