Re: Is PHP cable of handling ASCII characters???

Yea, cURL can handle ASCII characters. It been working for a couple of years. The first clipping is a sample PHP code. The 2nd clipping is the result of the data in ASCII characters, most of the data inside the CDATA is removed for security reason. The 3rd clipping is the result of a PHP array when in use, again some data is removed for security reason also. As you can see from the array, it showed the PHP array stopped storing data when the 'NUL' value is reached. --snip-- exec(CURL_CMD." -m 120 -u \"$XP_BASIC_AUTH\" -d \"$XML_REQ_STR\" ".$URL, $xp_result_array, $res_code); -- snip-- --snip-- 0000000 < ? x m l sp v e r s i o n = " 1 0000020 . 0 " sp s t a n d a l o n e = " 0000040 n o " ? > < N e t C o n n e c t 0000060 R e s p o n s e sp x m l n s = " 0000100 h t t p : / / w w w . e x p e r 0000120 i a n . c o m / N e t C o n n e 0000140 c t R e s p o n s e " > < C o m 0000160 p l e t i o n C o d e > 0 0 0 0 0000200 < / C o m p l e t i o n C o d e 0000220 > < H o s t R e s p o n s e > < 0000240 !
