Hello all.
I hope you dont mind me asking here, i wanted to create an rss feed for my events, i dont know php so its all trial and error for me..
I have edited the code as below which creates afilename.rss, when this file is called it shows an rss feed..
i had issues with some strange characters breaking the page but things seem ok..
I currently have this on my index page as a widget, it cant stay there as it will create to much server work.
Question...
can this be turned into a php file to run as a sheduled task? If so how?
many thanks in advance.
Carl
PHP Code:

$and=" and dateline_from >= '".$sdate."'";
