I'm getting this error in a XML job i'm doing and I can't see where this illegal character is creeping in. The offending text field is one called 'description', - i know that becuase if i remove it from the XML I get valid XML.
Unicode 0x19 is called End of Medium and is a control character. So i have used trim() on the data going into the description element, and also XMLFormat(). I would have thought that XMLFormat() would have fixed it, but it hasn't. I can't see where this character is creeping in, becuase it's a control character. I've also tried setting the page encoding to UTF-8 to see if that makes any difference but it doesn't. I've googled for quite a while now, and there are lots of people who see this problem - it's on forums everywhere, but no one seems to give an answer that works. Has anyone here come across this problem and solved it? ( The problem seems to be common to PHP and .Net applications too, but none of them have posted an answer that i have found. ) If you got round it, what did you do? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:308582 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
