How to add images to RSS Feeds or Atom Feeds

I was asked how to add images to an RSS Feed or atom feed from a user over at another forum.

So for refrence I thought I would post it here for others to use...

Create a php file called rss-image.php for example and add the following, be sure to edit the fields that I have outlined.

Where it asks for the image url be sure to put the FULL Path to the image file, or sites using your RSS feed will have broken images...

Example: http://www.your-site.com/image.jpg

Also be sure to set the sy:updatePeriod to only one, either hourly, weekly, monthly

Code:
<?php
header("Content-Type: application/xml");
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>\n";
echo "<rss version=\"2.0\" \n";
echo "  xmlns:dc=\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\"\n";
echo "  xmlns:sy=\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\"\n";
echo " xmlns:rdf=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\">\n\n";
echo "<channel>\n";
echo "<title>Site Title Here</title>\n";
echo "<link>http://www.site-url.com</link>\n";
echo "<description>Site description</description>\n";
echo "<managingEditor>you@mail.com</managingEditor>\n";
echo "<webMaster>webmaster@mail.com</webMaster>\n";
echo "<language>us_en</language>\n\n";
echo "<sy:updatePeriod>hourly / weekly / monthly</sy:updatePeriod>\n";
echo "<sy:updateFrequency>2</sy:updateFrequency>\n";
echo "<item>\n";
echo "<image>\n";
echo "<title>Name of Image</title>\n";
echo "<url>http://www.your-site.com/image.gif</url>\n";
echo "<width>Image Width</width>\n";
echo "<height>Image Height</height>\n";
echo "</image>\n";
echo "</item>\n\n";
echo "</channel>\n";
echo "</rss>\n";
?>


This is a basic outline, you can of course make an RSS feed to pull the data from a database and auto fill in the required sections.

Hope some one finds this useful.
