Note Submitter: oirinth ---- A simple way of checking if the XML string is valid is to suppress the warnings on the simplexml_load_string() and then check the boolean return for an error. $sxml = @simplexml_load_string($xml_str_to_test); if ($sxml !== false ) { // string is valid XML // to confirm this by eye, write the xml to the php error log as a string error_log( print_r($sxml->asXML(),true)); } else { // invalid XML, throw an error or something }
