Generate RSS feed for files in a directory folder. Put this file in a folder with files, modify the $allowed_ext variable to customize your extensions, and $feedName, $feedDesc, $feedURL, and $feedBaseURL. Then navigate to the folder on the web to see the xml feed. Done!

Hello! After switching from Apache to Caddy web server, I can't get rss to work. Podcast app sees files, but it always gives an error when i try to downloader the file. Is it possible that I am missing some specific part of php engine?
