Sometimes the error 'xml processing instruction not at start of external entity' occurs, but most of the time the xml parser will get stuck in an endless loop. A rather massive PHP application makes use of this feature, and we currently do not have a work-around. Basically we need XML elements to be able to give dynamic XML content to the XML parser. This was working fine up until now, and is quite important. Is there a "better way" to accomplish this if in fact this use of xml_parse is unorthodox? For example, this XML-based code: <SCREEN> <INFO>This will render a random surprise shape</INFO> <RANDOM shapes="SQUARE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE"/> </SCREEN> Where the element handler for "RANDOM" will give a random XML element to the parser... i.e. <SQUARE width="5" height="5"/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24002&edit=1
