Feed generator for PHP, allowing åäö and images

Question

I want to create feeds, so first, should I use rss 1, 2 or atom, whatever is best/standard?

Second, do you know any easy to understand tutorials or code-examples?

Any other good to know for feeds is more than welcome.

I'm using php and mysql.

Thanks in advance. /Johan

Writing your own code to generate the feed will probably be your best bet. It's dead simple and probably cleaner than using another library in your app. If you're wanting to read feeds, another great option I recently used is the Zend framework Zend_Feed_Reader component.
