Xml.parse and CDATA on PHP

[Jean-Baptiste Richardet]

Hi,

I'm using Xml.parse to parse a XML/Excel file (attached here) used a locale.
My problem is line 117

<Cell ss:StyleID="s65"><Data ss:Type="String" x:Ticked="1">Titre de l'épisode</Data></Cell>

This line is automatically parse as:

<Cell ss:StyleID="s65"><Data ss:Type="String" x:Ticked="1"><![CDATA[Titre de l']]><![CDATA[épisode]]></Data></Cell>

when I'm compiling for PHP. I was previously targeting Flash, and this never occurred.

Is there an option to disable this behavior? Should I escape the ', or the 'é'?

Thanks,

Jb Richardet

There's an old issue from me about that:

I think the é is the problem and my workaround was to replace
htmlentities with htmlspecialchars in __character_data_handler
function...

Actually, the ' is a problem too. Can you point me to this __character_data_handler function so I can try your workaround?

The milestone for the fix is 3.2, I hope it will come soon.

Thank you

It's in std/php/_std/Xml.hx, line 68. Try replacing "htmlentities" with
"htmlspecialchars". Maybe that helps. I don't remember...

I don't think so. I use PHP's native XML functions atm, when working
with PHP and XML.

I would have submitted a pull request, but as I said in the issue I
don't quite understand the parsing that's done here:
Why does __character_data_handler encode entities and create CDATA-nodes
at all?
And why is the function that actually encodes entities called
__decodeent?
And so on...

Please ping the Php issue with your cases, it will help everyone.

Thank you both ;)
