geoxml not parsing php generated kml in IE

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use a .php that generates a .kml instead of the .kml

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected putput is a parsed kml, the kml generated from the php script
is not parsed ONLY in IE....in FF it works!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
15 May 2009 version! (I also tried on older versions with the same result!
:/) on WinXP with IE6,7 and 8 (same result for all 3 of them!)

Please provide any additional information below.
I used IE to execute the .php and i downloaded the produced .kml
used it in the new GeoXml declaration instead of the .php and it works...
I also tryed appending on the .php a new GET variable a=.kml but with no
success...the .php is not parsed! :/

I have used php as the source of data for GeoXml a number of times without 
issues.

Here is a clue. GeoXml uses the built in parsing mechanism for xml and ie is 
rather
prone to character encoding issues.. Your web server when you post a static xml
presents the xml with a mimetype and character encoding usually a default utf-8 
(and
ignores anything that is set in the xml).

I cant see what your php is doing...

It was a header MIME type problem...

I solved it with this change:
++header('Content-type: application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml'); 
--header("Content-Type: application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml kml; 
charset=utf8");
