note 48188 added to function.dom-domdocument-createelement

In reply to: paul squigly-symbol allofus dot org If you want special entities like the '&' to be used in elements then don't pass your string as a parameter to createElement(), but instead do it like this: $tasty = 'Fish & chips!'; $doc = new domDocument(); $doc->encoding = 'UTF-8'; $doc->formatOutput = true; $root = $doc->createElement('Food'); $doc->appendChild($root); $data_element = $doc->createElement('Tasty'); $root->appendChild($data_element); $text = $doc->createTextNode($tasty); $data_element->appendChild($text); $doc->save('php://output'); The code above will produce this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Food> <Tasty>Fish &amp; chips!</Tasty> </Food> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-createelement.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48188 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48188&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48188&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48188&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48188&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48188&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48188&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48188&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
