Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-22 18:23:09] benbunk at gmail dot com PHP 5.2.10 on RHEL 5 (Versions irrelevant) Description: Ideally, a xml_encode or xmlspecialchars function would be created to handle this. There is a set list of acceptable chars in the xml documentation. All other characters not in this list should be excluded. Here is a short list (more found at the documentation link provided): Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF] /* any Unicode character, excluding the surrogate blocks, FFFE, and FFFF. */ Documentation: -------------- W3C. Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition). W3C XML Working Group. 2008. (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charsets) Work around: ------------ Here's a simple function in php that can strip out the control characters which is a good-enough solution but far from complete: function xmlspecialchars($escapStr) { $needles = array( chr(0x0), chr(0x01), chr(0x02), chr(0x03), chr(0x04), chr(0x05), chr(0x06), chr(0x07), chr(0x08), chr(0x09), chr(0x1), chr(0x10), chr(0x11), chr(0x12), chr(0x13), chr(0x14), chr(0x15), chr(0x16), chr(0x17), chr(0x18), chr(0x19), chr(0x2), chr(0x3), chr(0x9), chr(0xa), chr(0xb), chr(0xc), chr(0xd), chr(0xe), chr(0xf), ); return str_replace($needles, ' ', $escapStr); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-18 14:22:21] sunfundev at gmail dot com Change title ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-18 14:10:56] sunfundev at gmail dot com Description: ------------ PHP 5.3.6 on Windows and FreeBSD There is a problem with soap-call when one of the parameters contains control characters.
