Haha ;) - I changed the routine that generates the url for my feed, and planet-php is now 'my blog ;)'
I'm sure Christian will notice soon and get it back to normal.
[update] it looks like RSS 0.91 didnt really support pubDate (for entries), so almost all the feeds that come off of that are probably succeptable to the same issue (if you change the url).. - I've added <pubDate> to my entries - maybe that will help christian to sort out the mess, or better still just check to see if something with the same title already exists in the database.
[update2] Seems like some people may have forgotten their sense of humor.. - The url change was necessary as I had be creating broken urls in my rss feed (when I used ? & etc.).. - The fix accidentally forced planet-php to refresh (as it thought they where new urls') - This post is just a light reminder about why you are getting 'Alan' overload today.. ;)

Bad circumstances :)
Hi Alan
Planet PHP is almos Alan-free again :) The main problem, why all your posts show up was indeed, that they didn't have a pupDate, when you changed the links. If they would have, they wouldn't have showed up on the front page.
Fixing it? Naah, almost all RSS Feeds on Planet PHP have a date in it, so that can't happen to them and it's more or less a non-issue, resp. I can live with it.
Going for the title? Not sure how bullet-proof that would be. I can imagine a lot of edge-cases, where it wouldn't do the right thing either.
In RSS 2.0 and Atom, there's something like guid, which could solve the problem, but good and reliable implementations of this are not very widespread :)
