I'm capturing data from a text area, and binding it to an attribute in an XMLListCollection before packing it up and shipping it off with HTTPService to a PHP page. For whatever reason carriage returns are being encoded as
& # x D ; (pretend there's no whitespace) which, as was pointed out to me, indicates we should interepret '#xD' as a hexadecimal 'D', indicating decimal 15, the decimal value of the ASCII carriage return. Why this encoding isn't just & # 1 5 ; , which I guess would make way too much sense, is beyond me. I suspect the same thing is happening for other special characters, so any solution would need to handle the 'full' range of values. Does anyone know how I can either A. Prevent Flex from using this encoding B. Find a ready-made PHP4 compatible function to get rid of these things Thank you very much.
