why don't you just str_replace the <, > and & with their entities and when they get extracted the parser will normally replace them with their original form, won't it?

Hi all,
I'm writing a guestbook and message in the guestbook might contain & < > so
to make sure this wasn't a problem I was advised to great entities in my xml
file like so
<!DOCTYPE guestbook [
<!ELEMENT message (name, email, date, text)>
<!ATTLIST message id CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT email (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT date (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT text (#PCDATA)>
<!ENTITY lt "<">
<!ENTITY gt ">">
<!ENTITY amp "&">
]>
and when I write to my xml file if I convert all & < > characters to &
< > problem solved.
I'm having trouble though. My guestbook works fine until you enter a < > &
character. This will get written to the xml file, writes fine, I can view
the file in a text editor and it looks good.
Parse the file back in and say the field contained...
Hello Russ & Jim
the parser would only hold...
Jim
when it writes to the array I parse into. Another example...
Hello Jim Russ &
becomes...
&
so basically if a field holds an entity the last element of the field (be it
text after an entity or an entity itself) is the only part parsed.
Makes no sense to me :( I would upload my source and xml file for you to
check but they are big and ugly and you won't want to.
Thanks very much
Russ
