Hi!

 I was wondering if anyone here had experienced a simliar problem to mine.

 I am updating an Oracle XMLType column with XML built using DOM that is
 populated with values from an Excel spreadsheet saved out as a CSV.

 My problem is that for certain (apparently) random rows the xml updated
 will fail with the error:

 Warning: oci_execute(): OCIStmtExecute: ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
 ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
 LPX-00217: invalid character 0 (\u0000)
 Error at line 1
 ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 5
 ORA-06512: at line 1
  in /path/ob/fu/scated/archive.inc on line 1374

 I have googled around and a Java fix for the problem seemed to revolve
 around a null char being left on the end of the XML string, so I tried
 stripping the last char from the string but this did not help.  I then
 used an ordUTF8 function I found in the manual notes to see if I could
 find the null in the string - again, no luck.

 So my question is whether or not anyone here has a reliable way of
 detcting and removing \u0000 chars from strings?

 regards,

 Mikey

How about:
$str = str_replace("\0", '', $str);

You would think wouldn't you?  I even tried asc(0) to no avail.

Well, my problem for now has gone away as an ammended version of the spreadsheet did not have these errors, but a weird one, without a doubt!
