Hi,

Issue is when posting xml from one url to another url:

While anybody posting xml with "&" in any attributes values we are not getting the full xml. i.e Xml attributes is lost after "&". Is there any solution in PHP to avoid this issue and get full xml.

Hi,
we can solve this by using php configuration. By default the argument specifier is & , we can change to any character in php.ini file for the mentioned directive .

arg_separator.input = ";&"

Hi Vivekanandan,

Thanks for ur post.

The idea is nice, but what is the probability if that new character wont come in XML. Then it would also cause a major problem.

I think the function file_get_contents would be useful for this.

Can any one explain about this function??

Hi,
fine, the probability is notes depends upon the application we are using,
but when u use special character like these },{,|,. we will get low priority and make the application scalable.

we have another good solution is file_get_contents('php://input') which
works fine for the all suitation.

Hi vivek

Thanks. I checked and it works fine.

But in some of the php pages we have given navigation links as below

http://xxx.com/test.php?test=1&val=2

So when i use your logic then i need to find and replace in all pages.it will be tedious.

Is there a way to change php.ini file for a particular page?

Hi Venkatesan,
Yes, it is difficult for the Older application, but php provides dynamic php configuration using ini_set function which over rides the php configuration. we can use it any page as we need.

Hi Vivek

ok. Its better if you give me an sample example to post and set in php file.

Hi ,
For changing the delimeter & to ~ , we can run this code as follows

ini_set("arg_separator.input",";~");

Vivek,

This issue browser dependent or independent. If data having double quotes within tag then XML will generate or not?

Hi Vadivelan,
Browser is just xml viewer. Every thing is depend on the XML and the usage of it.
Note:
we use attribute to mention common for all child tags in it, Here school name is rama krishna, when we metion double quoto inside value,it is meaning less as follows
name="rama" krishna", how


XML data

<info>
<school name="rama krishna">
<student>
<name>vivek</name>
<age>20</age>
</student>
<student>
<name>velan</name>
<age>21</age>
</student>
</school>
</info>

Hi,
This is tips for searching the xml content fastly by using Xpath mainly used in stype sheet.


$oDomDoc = new DomDocument;
$oDomDoc->loadXML($str);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($oDomDoc);
$xpath->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$result = $xpath->query("//Root/Element");
foreach($result as $node )
{
print "<br>". $node -> getAttribute("Name");
}
