MP3 Link Fails to Work

After creating the write_xml.php page and testing the add Podcast on podcasts.php, I discovered that the play button doesn't work.

I believe this is due to the fact that the url is appended via a <link> tag in write_xml.php. After examining the xml files, the .mp3 urls that are functioning are instead embedded in <enclosure> tags.

I have yet to determine a fix!

Try adding this into the if statement in the write_xml.php page...

$enclosure = $item->addChild('enclosure', filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'link', FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
$enclosure->addAttribute('url', $enclosure);

It creates the enclosure tag with url attribute and assigns the submitted link to the attribute.
