[PHP] XHTML Validation problem

2008-05-02 Thread It Maq
Hi,

I have a page that displays data entered by the user. There is one user that 
entered the character  inside the text he typed. For this case the xhtml 
validation fails and gives me the following error:
character  is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data.

I'm wondering if there is a way to avoid this error. The page itself is valid 
and fails just in the case the user enters the  character.

Thank you

Pass the input through htmlspecialchars().

Try replacing the '' character with 'nbsp;'. That is what I did to get rid
of that warning in my xhtml documents.
