There's no such thing as an XML page - and there's no facility to run
code inside those pieces of text.

You'll want to look at mod_rewrite if you're looking for translating
one URI path into an entirely different one. That takes us outside the
scope of this newsgroup. 

It's enough to say you can take a URL such as /my_feed_{datetime}.xml
and rewrite it on the server (rather than in the browser) to a path
like /feedgen/feed-processor.php?feed_date={datetime}

The browser or feed reader never knows that's not a real file ending
in XML but is generated on the fly or by using passthru() on a
pre-generated snippet.
