At swcombine.com we use Feedcreator. Use that one and your problem will be gone. :)

Here is the PHP code to use it once installed:

function feed_simnews() {
    $objRSS = new UniversalFeedCreator();
    $objRSS->title = 'My News';
    $objRSS->link = 'http://link.to/news.php';
    $objRSS->description = 'daily news from me';
    $objRSS->xsl = 'http://link.to/feeds/feedxsl.xsl';
    $objRSS->language = 'en';
    $objRSS->copyright = 'Copyright: Mine!';
    $objRSS->webmaster = 'webmaster@somewhere.com';
    $objRSS->syndicationURL = 'http://link.to/news/simnews.php';
    $objRSS->ttl = 180;

    $objImage = new FeedImage();
    $objImage->title = 'my logo';
    $objImage->url = 'http://link.to/feeds/logo.jpg';
    $objImage->link = 'http://link.to';
    $objImage->description = 'Feed provided by link.to. Click to visit.';
    $objImage->width = 120;
    $objImage->height = 60;
    $objRSS->image = $objImage;

    //Function retrieving an array of your news from date start to last week
    $colNews = getYourNews(array('start_date' => 'Last week'));

    foreach($colNews as $p) {
        $objItem = new FeedItem();
        $objItem->title = $p->title;
        $objItem->description = $p->body;
        $objItem->link = $p->link;
        $objItem->date = $p->date;
        $objItem->author = $p->author;
        $objItem->guid = $p->guid;

        $objRSS->addItem($objItem);
    }

    $objRSS->saveFeed('RSS2.0', 'http://link.to/feeds/news.xml', false);
};

Quite KISS. :)
