Re: "Invalid hexadecimal character reference" error parsing an XML withSAX processor
I have found the problem. In the XML file it was an & entity and it creates the problem in the PHP XML parser.
So It could be enough to replace & with [amp] before the parsing and then, when you have to ouput the result, replace back to the &
r.

Hy to everyone
I have created a simple SAX parser for a very simple XML file.
When I run the code that follows I get this error:
"Invalid hexadecimal character reference"
The strange thing is If I change the "chunk size" for the data I send
to the parser, the error row changes. This behaviour is very strange!
I have done a one more test and I have set the chunkSize equals to the
file size and I have the same error at the end of the file.
The same XML file processed with another language doesn't raise any
error.
I use PHP 5.2.3 and a LAMP (AppServ Open Project - 2.5.9 for Windows)
on
a Windows VISTA PC.
The code I have used follows:
public function create_parser($filename)
{
$this->fp = fopen($filename, 'r');
$this->fsize = filesize($filename);
$this->parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($this->parser,
'Parser::start_element','Parser::end_element');
xml_set_character_data_handler($this->parser, 'Parser::char_data');
}
public function parse()
{
//$blockSize = 4*1024;
$blockSize = $this->fsize; echo 'Lunghezza file: '.$this-
fsize;
while ($data = fread($this->fp, $blockSize))
{
//$data = str_replace('\n','',$data);
if (!xml_parse($this->parser, $data, feof($this->fp)))
{
echo 'Parser error: ('.xml_get_current_byte_index($this-
parser).')
\''.xml_error_string($this->parser).'\' at line '.
xml_get_current_line_number($this->parser). ' at col ' .
xml_get_current_column_number($this->parser);
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
A piece of the XML following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
