.htaccess rules?

If you want all .xml files to point to php files, use these. 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase   /rss

RewriteRule  ^(.*).xml$ $1.php [R=301]

This should also work:

RedirectMatch perm ^/rss/(.+)\.xml$ http://yoursite.com/rss/$1.php

Otherwise, use the code Jason McCreary suggested:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase   /rss

RewriteRule  ^rss.xml$ rss.php [L]

Which will only rewrite rss.xml to rss.php.

I recommend to generate a static xml file via php and give access to this file.

Invoking php script that reads back-end database every time to generate rss feed, especially when there are many users, may affect on your server performance.

Generate a static xml file and update it every time when you update your web-site.

And provide link to this static xml file.
