Hi François,
Thanks so much for your help.
Actually I am using php designer 2005 for the creation of my googleSiteMap.php
file. So, I don't think it would generate some encoding problem, but I just
guessing here. Unfortunately, I am still getting this same odd error message if
you have any other clue, I will appreciate.
Thanks again, mauro.

Hi,
Two issues:
1) you are trying to see the result of you php file in a browser which
can not handle xml files.
Solution 1) Try with another browser.
Solution 2) Make a simple link to your
ttp://mysite.com/wiki/googleSiteMap.php on an html page, and left click
download the target of this link. then view the file using a text
editor, not a browser.
2)The major problem about xml is an encoding problem. I bet there is an
utf-8 iso-8851-9 mismatch... well, I'm not so sure, but when it begins
at the first column, it is often because some small characters were
added by a text editor to remember it's utf-8. Solution 1) Open the file
in an old text editor (in windows, you have to get a notepad from win95
which can't handle utf-8 and therefore shows the hidden characters at
the beginning of the file) and erase these characters, or change the
encoding.
Hope that your problem was a lot easier than that and that you already
solved it. If not, hope this helps.
