Got it!
{ Big sigh }
Cake's Xml classes use PHPs "Xml Parser". And PHPs parser
automatically converts the contents to UTF-8.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/xml.encoding.php
So no matter what I had in the file (of the three supported charsets
at least) I will end up with utf-8 text. Good to know.
While I was in there looking at __header I came to the conclusion that
this line:
---line 866
$this->__header = trim(str_replace(a('<' . '?', '?' . '>'), a('', ''),
substr(trim($this->__rawData), 0, strpos($this->__rawData, "\n"))));
---
should look like this:
---
$this->__header = trim(str_replace(a('<' . '?', '?' . '>'), a('', ''),
substr($this->__rawData, 0, strpos($this->__rawData, '?' . '>'))));
---
or
---
$this->__header = trim(str_replace(a('<' . '?', '?' . '>'), a('', ''),
substr(trim($this->__rawData), 0, strpos(trim($this->__rawData), '?' .
'>'))));
---
Changes are:
1. Shouldn't it look for the end of the xml header and not the end of
the line?
2. And shouldn't the substr and strpos both either trim the data or
not, so strpos is correct at all times. I know the xml shouldn't
contain any whitespace up-front but the trims should match so either
two of them or none, right?
