hello, I hope this isn't too off-topic for the list, if it is, please point me to a better one: I have to edit an xml file, and I was going to do that via DOMXML. The editing process itself is fine, but I now realised that all content that was in cdata brackets gets stored back without them. example: $xml="<content><![CDATA[Hello list.]]></content>"; $dom = domxml_open_mem($xml); die($dom->dump_mem()); //echoes: <content>Hello list.</content> I'm on apache 1.3.33 php 4.4.0 domXML version 20020815 libxml version 20611 and the whole thing is on windows XP this is of course simplified. if you tried it on your machine, you'll find an xml header in the output, and of course, my input-xml has one. The only proof of this that I have found so far is in a german phpforum, where a guy has the exact same problem, but sadly noone replied. That makes me think that it's either highly uncommon, unsolveable or a stupid error everyone but me knows. I'd alternatively use domxml_open_file (if that's the cure), but I get an I/O error when I try opening a file, relative or absolute paths, same directory or anywhere else. The content is fine after file_get_contents. Help is highly appreciated, Matthias -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
