Templating in CodeIgniter, it’s mean we should make your own layouts system. If you have using CakePHP before, then you see there no automatic templating views in CodeIgniter.

Solving RSS Feed error in Codeigniter 2.0

There are several commmon error when building RSS Feed in CodeIgniter 2.0. Somehow we made mistakes and here are top list case.

When we got [cci lang="php"]ErrorException [ Parse Error ]: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING[/cci], this happen because you have PHP short_tags enabled, which means [cci lang="php"]

To fix this, turn off short_tags in php.ini or code like this :

‘; ?>

Another problem is [cci lang="php"]Line Number 1, Column 2: [/cci]. This usually happen because we close our documents with [cci lang="php"]?>[/cci] php tags. In CodeIgniter, we should leave our end of file without using [cci lang="php"]?>[/cci].

So, when you facing another RSS Feed error, try to check your php.ini and use CodeIgniter code behaviour.
