This initial query using the join is necessary to get the articles grouped in their respective categories. After a little monkeying around, I made a separate mysql query for the category name directly from its own table and made a variable for it. Passing that variable into the channel() worked perfectly. Thank you for the heads up on that. :) In my situation, in garnering the category name in the original query meant doing a left join between two tables … one table where the articles are … and the other where the categories are (the names of the categories).

Our site has a series of articles in various categories and I've been able to run the The DynamicRSS PHP Class so that I can obtain the latest RSS feeds for each category. But I'm scratching my head on one wee little obstacle. My query that I use calls for the categoryname but I cannot figure out how to incorporate it into the channel array so that my different category feeds can have their appropriate category name within the channel title.
