Mayday! XML Parsing Error: not well-formed.

[velocd]

I'm sending an XML document via PHP for handling with XMLHttpRequest.

In the stage of various testing, I ran into a problem when trying to pass a bunch of gibberish. The characters in the <description> nodeValue are apparently not valid for an XML document.

How do I go about encoding this correctly? What functions in PHP?

Here is my error:

(may take a moment to load)

It may be unrelated, but over here the following is said:

If the XML parser encounters characters outside the range that its source encoding is capable of representing, it will return an error.

If such characters can't be encoded, is there a specification to know what characters they are, so I can regex strip 'em?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
