invalid characters in XML

[d-net]

I try to write a PHP function to output XML.

However, in the file I created, there are =, &, <, > which IE5 tells me that they are invalid characters.

My question: is there a list that I can follow to replace these characters with XML-compatible codes?

Try declaring these elements as CDATA in your XML-output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Test><![CDATA[Blah = this & 'foo' = jack:@ whatever < > blah....]]></Test>

never tried it, but can't you just replace with "&lt;", "&gt;" equivalent... like ....

[VBS] replace(string,">","&gt;") [/VBS]
