lo all,
don't really know if it's the correct list to post to but didn't see any
xml lists besides the dev one, so don't hesitate to tell me where i
should post if i was wrong..
i'm no php coder so my experience is quite thin, if you have an answer
to my prob please keep that in mind ;)
i'm using php 4.3 on linux / apache2 (debian stable)
my little project is quite simple and my problem is too..
I need to get some data from a remote server hosting various websites,
i've build a small "soap style" script on the remote server to provide
the requested data to the client thru xml.. the xml data produced by the
remote server is very simple, like the following sequence :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root><type4><id82><![CDATA[Interview David Martinez - Concepteur DVD HK Vidéo]]></id82></type4></root>
my php script on the client server places requests for various data on
the remote server and then stores each of them in a local xml file, used
as a cache..
the xml tree of the local file is exactly the same as the one provided
by the remote server, although the local file stores multiple "typeX"
and "idXX" nodes, of course..
The first thing i had to deal with was the fact you can't append a node
from one xmldom object to another, the first xmldom object being a
handle to my local (cache) file and the second being the data returned
by the request placed on the remote server..
So i'm using the clone(true) method to clone the node (with child tree)
in my second xml object (remote data) so i can append it at the right
place in my first object (cache file)..
And that works fine BUT when performing the clone(true) the original
CDATA section, inside the idXX node, desapears.. So the cloned node
appended to my cache file has no CDATA section and the text, that was
inside that CDATA section, seems to be html encoded.. with things like
"légende" which should be "légende" (legend in english :)
So i'd like to know what's the matter with xmldom and CDATA, or maybe
simply the clone() method and CDATA sections.. and maybe also why xmldom
encodes the text that way.. html special chars are also htmlencoded like
"<b>" for "<b>".. but when extracted fro the xml cache file to be
displayed in an php script the html codes are correct but the special
ascii chars are screwed like this "légende" for word i mentionned earlier..
I've tried a few things but couldn't find any ways to properly restore
those ascii chars.. and i really wouldn't like to have to create and
append the cdata section manually..
Thx for you help..
Marc
