note 113866 added to soapserver.handle

Sometimes returned data can contain characters which are not valid in xml 1.0. This causes the xml being output by SoapServer::handle to be invalid. Although it's probably better to sanitize the data ealier, a combination of output buffering and a simple regular expression can be used as a quick fix to make sure the output is indeed valid xml. For example: <?php ob_start(); $soapServer->handle(); $soapXml = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); $soapXml = preg_replace ('/[^\x{0009}\x{000a}\x{000d}\x{0020}-\x{D7FF}\x{E000}-\x{FFFD}]+/u', ' ', $soapXml); echo $soapXml; ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 72.52.91.14 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/soapserver.handle.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/113866 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113866/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113866/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113866/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113866/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113866/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113866/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113866 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/113866 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
