RES: [PHP] Invalid chars in XML

2010-09-21 Thread Alejandro Michelin Salomon
Hi 

I am working with xml, in portuguese, and i have many problems with special
characters.

I find this code to work with this problem...

When create xml ExpandEntities :
function ExpandEntities( $sText )
{
$trans = array('&' => '&',
   "'" => ''',
   '"' => '"',
   '<' => '<',
   '>' => '>' );

return strtr( $sText, $trans );
}

When read xml CompEntities
function CompEntities( $sText )
{
$trans = array('&'  => '&',
   ''' => "'",
   '"' => '"',
   '<'   => '<',
               '>'   => '>' );

return strtr( $sText, $trans );
}

Alejandro M.S.

Assunto: [PHP] Invalid chars in XML

Hi,

I am trying to parse a XML file with simplexml_load but it gave me error.
 While inspecting the contents I found a & inside the value of a tag.
something & something.

After I've removed the & everything went fine.  So which chars I should not
put in my file?   Should I use some conversion function like html_entities?

Does the receiver of the XML has to do anything to convert is back?

CDATA tags is what you need

The following should not be used inside XML

& ampersand
' single quote
" double quote

< less than

you could simply wrap all your data in CDATA tags
