    Hi Guys,

    I have been using an RSS feed i wrote with PHP for the last 3 years and all was going well until a certain unmentionable site decided to change how things worked and started to use 'magnet' links instead of the normal torrent links.

    Anyway , i tried to recode the RSS feed for this and i keep having the same issue and i cant seem to get around it so anyone who knows about RSS might be able to help me out.

    The link im trying to send is like this

    [PHP]<link>magnet:?xt=urn:btih:7be37ac7f65dc78bf8b115629e60220c637fe0d1&dn=Name+of+the+file</link>[/PHP]

    but when i use that i keep getting an error saying expecting a semicolon because i should be replacing & with & ... unfortunately , when i do that , the page displays , but i have no links at all and when i check the source , it looks like

    [PHP]<link>magnet:?xt=urn:btih:7be37ac7f65dc78bf8b115629e60220c637fe0d1&dn=Name+of+the+file</link>[/PHP]

    anyone have any ideas on how to get around this ?

    I basically want to make an RSS feed for magnet links with PHP.

    Try:

    [php]<link><![CDATA[magnet:?xt=urn:btih:7be37ac7f65dc78bf8b115629e60220c637fe0d1&dn=Name+of+the+file]]></link>[/php]

    CDATA explanation.
