#37513 [Opn]: Have news submission system perform HTML sanity checks, prevent RSS breakage

ID: 37513 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: edwardzyang at thewritingpot dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-master-web/scripts/update-backend Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-05 23:18:37] edwardzyang at thewritingpot dot com What file is the RSS parser located in? index.php mentions it but doesn't give any other indication. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-18 21:14:48] edwardzyang at thewritingpot dot com I'm investigating the source. However, it seems like the news items are inlined inside index.php. Factoring them out would present major architectural changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-18 21:11:01] goba@php.net We are open for patches. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-18 21:07:16] edwardzyang at thewritingpot dot com Description: ------------ The news items on PHP.net often are sloppily written, with improper encodings and unencoded ampersands. Perhaps you guys should get HTMLTidy to give HTML code a sanity check before allowing it to be submitted. This is even more important for RSS, because one stray ampersand can break the whole feed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37513&edit=1
