With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

PHP XML DomDocument and pound symbol problem

Asked by coolispaul in Extensible Markup Language (XML), PHP Scripting Language

Tags: , , , ,

Hi,

I am using the PHP DomDocument class to create an XML file from data from a database.
Unfortunately, if the data in the dataabse contains a pound symbol (£), the whole field is ignored and not added to the XML.

Do you know what may be causing this?

My code to create the XML is;


$doc = new DomDocument('1.0');

// create root node
$root = $doc->createElement('root');
$root = $doc->appendChild($root);

// process one row at a time
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
// add node for each row
  $occ = $doc->createElement('news');
  $occ = $root->appendChild($occ);
  // add a child node for each field
  foreach ($row as $fieldname => $fieldvalue) {
     
      $child = $doc->createElement($fieldname);
      $child = $occ->appendChild($child);
        $value = $doc->createTextNode($fieldvalue);
      $value = $child->appendChild($value);
  } // foreach
} // while
$xml_string = $doc->saveXML();
//echo $xml_string;
//$xml_string = html_entity_decode($xml_string);
$fp = @fopen('../xml/news.xml','w');
if(!$fp) {
    die('Error cannot create XML file');
}
fwrite($fp,$xml_string);
fclose($fp);Start Free Trial
