<head><title>RSS Form</title></head>
<body>
<form method='post' action='write.php'>
<img src='logo.png' align='left' />
<font size='6'>RSS Feed</font><br>
The feed that just keeps on giving...<br>
<p>Title:<br>
<input type='text' name='title' size='84' /><br></p>
<p>Article Body:<br>
<textarea rows='20' cols='100' wrap='physical' name='desc'></textarea><br></p>
<input type='submit' value='Post RSS' name='submit'> (Be sure to review the article before pressing this button -- <b>there's no going back</b>)</form><br>
</body>
</html>
and Write.php

This is my first contact with PHP so I'm quite confused. When I go to the html page and "submit" my form, I get redirected to:
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfil the request.
Thanks for your help
Check the server's error log. There should be more details about what's causing the 500 error. The error message you posted is the "friendly" public error message which by design says very little.
Try running a very basic <?php echo 'hello world' ?> as well. If that blows up, then there's some wrong with your PHP installation which is causing the webserver to blow up when PHP is invoked.
Some updates to your PHP code:

$file_name = 'rss.xml';

initialize_xml($file_name);
