I am trying to bulk upload some items to Froogle using an xml file. In that file, I have some dynamic php urls pointing to products in a catalog. I am getting errors, and the items are not getting uploaded. Google is no help at all. Here is the xml file:

And the error I get from Froogle that doesn't allow me to upload:

Ack! There was an internal system error. Please contact us with the error code "393 - XML decoder error".

The reference to entity "product_id" must end with the ';' delimiter.

Can anyone help me figure this out?

Put &product_id= instead of &product_id =.

Any time you have the & as part of your querystring, you need & to ensure that it's recognized properly as an HTML entity.

Thanks that did the trick!
