Auto updating of Plugin created by CCK with hosting at my employers company website

CCK wizard creates install.rdf but no update.rdf. I created a php file which trys to do so

Still searching for the right syntax

<?php
// http://partnernet.somedomain.com/projects/firefox/update.rdf?id=%ITEM_ID%&version=%ITEM_VERSION%&app_version=%APP_VERSION%
header('Content-type: application/xml');
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';

if (isset($_GET['id']) & isset($_GET['version'])) {
  $id = htmlspecialchars($_GET['id']);
  $version = htmlspecialchars($_GET['version']);
}
if (!isset($_GET['id']) )         {$id="somedomain.xpi"; }
if (!isset($_GET['version']))    {$id="10.01"; }
