Question

I have the following XML in a variable:

$xml = 'XML=<CktRequest><Agent Name="Computicket" Group="mobile"></Agent><Operation Type="New Session" NumNewReleases="3" NumPromotions="6"/></CktRequest>';
var_dump("xml:".$xml);

The var_dump only show:

'XML='

So it loses everything after that… Why?

Answer 1

The browser is interpreting the tags as… well tags. View the source to see the contents of $xml or escape it first:

var_dump("xml:" . htmlentities($xml));
