Thanks for the followup. Yeah, as alternative, you could also like base64 encode the data that you
put into XML, could work too.

Thanks.

Finally I applied the addslashes() function before using my serialized object into the XML structure
generated with the DOMDocument class.
I do it like this : 
addslashes(serialize($data));

And the result is perfect. The DOMDocument::save() runs fine now !

Of course when I want to use the serialized object I do it as follows :
unserialize(stripslashes($obj_serialized));

Thanks a lot for your feedback

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/domdocument.save
---
Here is the problem.

Before using DOMDocument to build a XML structure and save it in a file, I needed to serialize an
object witch has to be included in the XML structure. 

But this object is from a class containing Protected members. 

And as it's written in the PHP documentation the name of the protected members is prefixed by
the serialize function with an asterisc and a nul character on each side of the asterisc.

And these nul characters cause the bug with the DOMDocument::save function. The saved file is
troncated juste before the first nul character met.

Is there a solution to solve that ?
