Is there any reason for this.

Hi Roy,

It's quite normal for the description fields of RSS feeds to contain HTML markup, I think that's all you're seeing here, so it should work fine simply by using

print $record["DESCRIPTION"];

Don't forget you can also remove HTML using strip_tags() if required.

Cheers,
David.
