Google Chrome rendering XML as text for RSS feed

I have this script to generate an XML file for an RSS feed. Works great in every browser except Chrome. Chrome just renders the XML as text. Something to do with header("Content-Type: application/rss+xml; charset=ISO-8859-1"); possibly?

This is the code I'm using:

<?php

$linkUp = "http://localhost/sites/myBlog/";

header("Content-Type: application/rss+xml; charset=ISO-8859-1");

$rssfeed  = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>';
$rssfeed .= '<rss version="2.0">';
$rssfeed .= '<channel>';
$rssfeed .= '<title>Mytitle</title>';
$rssfeed .= '<link>' . $linkUp . '</link>';
$rssfeed .= '<description>Mydescription</description>';
$rssfeed .= '<language>en-us</language>';
$rssfeed .= '<copyright>&copy; ' . strftime('%Y') .  ' . " " . ' . $linkUp . '</copyright>';


$query = "SELECT * FROM rss";
$result = $db->query($query);

while($row = $db->fetch_array($result)) {

    $rssfeed .= '<item>';
    $rssfeed .= '<title>' . $row['rss_title'] . '</title>';
    $rssfeed .= '<description>' . $row['rss_description'] . '</description>';
    $rssfeed .= '<link>' . $row['rss_link'] . '</link>';
    $rssfeed .= '<pubDate>' . date("D, d M Y H:i:s O", strtotime($date)) . '</pubDate>';
    $rssfeed .= '</item>';
}

$rssfeed .= '</channel>';
$rssfeed .= '</rss>';

echo $rssfeed;

?>

Bottom line, RSS support isnt used by "majority" of users, and as such they are only implementing it as an extension, for now. The extension is available here: RSS SubscriptionExtension

There's a detailed discussion of this on the closing comment for the bug - you can read the developer notes here: Comment 149

try the chrome extension "XML Tree"
