Re: XML Parsing Problem

Huh - I guess it could be useful. I still think this should be an option you could set with xml_parser_set_option(), or something. In case anyone is interested, I solved the problem by creating a new global variable, $previousTag. Each time my character parsing function is called, it compares the previous tag to the current tag. If they are the same, the data gets stuffed into a buffer; if they are different, the buffer is returned, cleared, and the new data stuffed into it...and $previousTag is set to the current tag.

well thats just the way XML parsers work, according to the parser, what you have there is not a single string element, you have three child elements (the parent node being the <title>).. two string nodes broken up by an entity node. In other circumstances, this behaviour can be very useful.

But why does it break the string up into 3 parts? I think it should just return "Follow-up To Critique of BeOS &amp; Mac OS X". Ben
