[PHP] Re: Simple XML - problem with errors
Okay. At least one of the problems with this so called HTML seems to be that the body tag looks like BODY vlink=#ff ... and xml_parse complains that required on that line (i.e. it is claiming it can't find the end of the tag!). I'm guessing that those attributes must be quoted in XML and should be in HTML (but patently aren't)? Is there any way to get xml_parse to ignore that? My element_handler functions never even get a chance to see that line. Regex to insert quotes or remove the attributes entirely, perhaps? *gulp* I hope there's a better way than that. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Essentially, you want to parse some plain text which may or may not be well formed XML. In short ... good luck. How badly formed is the file going to be? If it is things like missing , then this could be managed with regex. Essentially you are going to have to do the clean up that Tidy could do for you. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

And for strict versions of (X)HTML, the attribute does not exist at all. /Nisse -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

No. I don't *want* to And it isn't plain text, it's just sh*t html (no doctype, missing closing tags in some cases, etc. It's an absolute mess). Browsers are pretty good at handling it. XML parsers... less so. How badly formed is the file going to be? It's not a file. It comes from an embedded web server on a device. I could ask them to change it. I can hear the laughter already.
