htmlspecialchars

[chris_stfc]

Hi All,

I have a question about my RSS feed. Say I have a non-breaking space in the form   saved in mysql database it crashes the RSS feed when I try and output the data.

How would it change   to just a plain &

Would it be using htmlspecialchars? Ie:

            $rssValue .= "<title>" . htmlspecialchars($row['headline'], ENT_QUOTES) . "</title>\r\n"; 

Or is it done using the character encoding ie:

$rssValue  = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>\r\n";
$rssValue .= "<rss version=\"2.0\">\r\n";

Or have I misunderstood? How would/can it be done?

Thanks

Chris

Maybe you're looking for CDATA ?? eg.

<description>
<![CDATA[
whatever "non-parsed" data you want here.
]]>
</description>

Yep, that's the one - thank you!
