$database = “xrandomusa_4”;

$linkID = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die(“Could not connect to host.”);
mysql_select_db($database, $linkID) or die(“Could not find database.”);

$query = “SELECT * FROM pages ORDER BY pageID DESC”;
$resultID = mysql_query($query, $linkID) or die(“Data not found.”);

$xml_output = "<?xml version=“1.0”?>
";
$xml_output .= "<entries>
";

for($x = 0 ; $x < mysql_num_rows($resultID) ; $x++){
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultID);
$xml_output .= " <entry>
“;
$xml_output .= " <date>” . $row[‘pageTitle’] . "</text>

// Escaping illegal characters
