I am getting a parse error on line 20:  
$resultID = mysql\_query($query, $linkID) or die(“Data not found.”);  
echo $resultID[‘id’];  
$xml\_output = "\<?xml version=“1.0”?\>  
";  
$xml\_output .= "\<entries\>  
";

for($x = 0 ; $x \< mysql\_num\_rows($resultID) ; $x++){  
line 20-------\> $row = mysql\_fetch\_assoc($resultID);  
what did I do wrong?

Second what does the xml need to look like to make this tutorial to go?
