simplexml choking on apparently valid XML
in [General]
|
From: Brian Dunning on 6 May 2010 20:02 Hey all - I'm using simplexml-load-string just to validation a string of XML, and libxml-get-errors to return any errors. It's always worked before, but today it's choking on this line in the XML: <client_orderitem_number>Basketball Personalized Notebook - Jeff's</client_orderitem_number> It's returning "Premature end of data in tag client_orderitem_number line 90" but as far as I can tell, Jeff's is properly XML encoded. I can't debug this. Any suggestions? I have run the XML through a couple of online validators and it does come back as valid with no errors found.

It turned out to be some special characters in the tags or data that I had to strip out first, then load it thru the simplexml parser. I will have to check my code when I get back to the office in the AM and I'll let you know what it was if you haven't figured it out by then. But that might get you started in fixing it. -- -Dan Joseph www.canishosting.com - Unlimited Hosting Plans start @ $3.95/month.

From: Brian Dunning on 7 May 2010 18:32 This time simplexml-load-string also gave me the same error on the following line: <first_name>Charlie & Brady</first_name> Can anyone confirm whether simplexml-load-string will or will not accept or allow XML-encoded characters? It seems that it should and would be pretty surprising if it wouldn't.
