Incorrect use of the image tag:

<img>"http://auntievics.com/assets/ChunckyPeamuttButterCrunchies.jpg" </img>

The correct way:

@Eddie - Mindapolis is dealing with XML, not HTML, so I don't believe your solution above will work.

@Mindapolis - Perhaps you can share the PHP code that uses the image path from the XML file? I believe that is the render_products() function within templates.php. I'm not seeing an error within the XML file.

This line is incorrect:

<img src="'.$product->img.' height="" Width="" />

it should be:

<img src="'.$product->img.'" height="" Width="" />

(missing a quotation mark to close of the src="" portion. Also, if you are not going to set the image's height/width, I would remove that from the <img /> tag.

This line is incorrect:

it needs to be:

the single quote after the double quote closes the string, the period concatinates (adds) $product->img to the string, and the period/single quote at the end continues the string. Also, since you are using XHTML rather than HTML, you need to close the img tag with a "/>".

mindapolis · August 4, 2011

It's still giving me that error after I put <img src="'.$product->img. '" />

falkencreative · August 4, 2011

Have you made any changes to the XML file since you posted the code originally? The error message seems to indicate that there is an error in the XML file, on/near this line:

<img>http://auntievics.com/assets/WayahsWoofburgers.jpg</img>

specifically involving a missing/incorrect </img> tag.

Other than that, I'm seeing one potential issue:

<img>"http://auntievics.com/assets/ChunckyPeamuttButterCrunchies.jpg" </img>

needs to be (no quotes)

<img>http://auntievics.com/assets/ChunckyPeamuttButterCrunchies.jpg</img>

I don't think that is causing the error, but it is still something I would fix.

These two lines need to go back to the way they were before:

I tried to indicate that Eddie's solution above was incorrect, but you must have missed it. You are dealing with XML, not HTML, so you need to go back to the previous version:

Looks like you've doubled the xml file somehow? Note the two <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> tags? I think you must have accidentally pasted the code twice within the XML file. You'll need to fix that, and that will take care of half of the errors.

The other error you are running into is from this line:

as I said above, it needs to be

<img>http://auntievics.com/assets/ChunckyPeamuttButterCrunchies.jpg</img>
