Oof. I've never tried sending HTML back in my XML-RPC responses before. The problem you run into, as you're noting, is that you're wrapping the HTML in XML, which is always problematic -- you need to use entities, or CDATA, and I'm not entirely sure XML-RPC will play well with CDATA anyways. Try base64-encoding the HTML. This will mean extra work on the receiving end, but should make it safe enough to pass embedded in the XML-RPC (which, I believe, may have been one of the rationale's behind having a 'base64' XML-RPC type in the first place). -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney PHP Developer | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zend - The PHP Company | http://www.zend.com/
