#40250 [Fbk->Opn]: php.net news.rss feeds often contain entity errors

ID: 40250 User updated by: famc4 at hotmail dot com Reported By: famc4 at hotmail dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Mac OSX (irrelevant?) PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: bjori New Comment: Great, looks good. I'm not sure why my the parse reported line 75, or what was on line 75; because it choked after that. But it's coming through fine today. Is there a permanent way to fix the "undefined entities" errors; so they don't crop up again? Is that what you did? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-27 16:07:40] bjori@php.net I fixed the html entity on line 38. What is the problem on line 75? It's a single </item> element... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-26 20:59:02] famc4 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ www.php.net/news.rss feeds quite often have XML errors that trip up parsers. For example, currently, the error: "undefined entity at line 38..." shows up. Ditto at "line 75". In fact, every time I have encountered an error, it is an entity error. Current time is 3:42 PM -05:00 (e.g.,EST) (Friday Jan 26). Reproduce code: --------------- see www.php.net/news.rss Expected result: ---------------- Flawless, well-formed XML news feed. Of course! :-) Actual result: -------------- No feed web site, because parsing fails. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40250&edit=1
