Re: [PHP] simplexml choking on apparently valid XML - Solved

[Brian Dunning]

I was able to resolve this by changing the XML file encoding from UTF-8 to 
ISO-8859-1. Works like a charm now, with the XML-encoded characters.

Thanks to all who offered their help.

I think that "&" should be & because you cant use "&" in xml as
independent alphbet

hmm, both the strings seem to work fine on my laptop:

php > var_dump(simplexml_load_string('Charlie &
Brady'));
object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (1) {
  [0]=>
  string(15) "Charlie & Brady"
}
php > var_dump(simplexml_load_string('Basketball
Personalized Notebook - Jeff's'));
object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (1) {
  [0]=>
  string(41) "Basketball Personalized Notebook - Jeff's"
}

This time simplexml-load-string also gave me the same error on the following 
line:

Charlie & Brady

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.

I had this problem  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.

[PHP] simplexml choking on apparently valid XML

[Brian Dunning]

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:

Basketball Personalized Notebook - 
Jeff's

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.
