Re: [PHP] simplexml choking on apparently valid XML - Solved
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. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] simplexml choking on apparently valid XML
This time simplexml-load-string also gave me the same error on the following line: first_nameCharlie amp; Brady/first_name 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.

hmm, both the strings seem to work fine on my laptop:
php var_dump(simplexml_load_string('first_nameCharlie amp;
Brady/first_name'));
object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (1) {
[0]=
string(15) Charlie Brady
}
php var_dump(simplexml_load_string('client_orderitem_numberBasketball

[0]=
