Re: [PHP] XML Parser misbehaves with amp;
Hello, It's not misbehaving and it's not illegal xml. It's a well documented fact that the character data function may be called more than once. The normal programming practice is to put the strings that are given to you at each call into a buffer. Then you write code in the end handler to process it, and to reset the buffer after processing.

Its documented at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#syntax states: The ampersand character () and the left angle bracket () may appear in their literal form only when used as markup delimiters, or within a comment, a processing instruction, or a CDATA section. If they are needed elsewhere, they must be escaped using either numeric character references or the strings amp; and lt; respectively.

As mentioned before it's perfectly normal for sax parsers to fire too events for the same text block. The expat parser is well known for this behaviour. -- Raditha Dissanayake - http://www.radinks.com/sftp/ Lean and mean Secure FTP applet with Graphical User Inteface. just 150 Kilo Bytes -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] XML Parser misbehaves with amp;
The data contains escaped ampersands - amp; Which is as far as I know the way one represents ampersands in their data. In my post below, the value of $data the second time is because it has been evaluated by the xml parser. And btw xmllint has no problems with amp; On Mon, 2003-08-18 at 12:41, Justin Farnsworth wrote: This is normal. You have illegal XML there, as it should be in ![CDATA[ value ]].
