xml parsing limit

Anon

I tried to parse the data from data.xml file but I have a weird problem:
If my data look like this, it will parse fine:
<data> test1, test2, test3</data>
When I change my data to:
<data>
test1, test2, test2
</data>
It won't work any more. What happened is the xml only parse the data right after the begin_tag, if the data on the new line after begin_tag, it just ignore. Is anyone know how to fix the problem? Thank you.

I had trouble that may have been the same thing.

What I experienced was a limit on the size of data in a tag. I found out that php(expat) was actually calling the xmldata function with all of the data, it was just splitting it up, so I had to concatonate all my xmldata on a tag-by-tag basis.

Thank you for you information. But my data is really long, it is not wrap up easy in one line or so, and customer is the one input the data online so I don't think they want to try put everything in one line. I can parse them by regular split php function, but I hope xml will help me better. Is any setup options will help us?

It appears that the xml will parse when it is in the form:

but not in the form:

There is some discussion of this in:

The simple fix is to keep your XML as it is shown in the first example (if you have a lot of data to convert use XSL). The MS XML parser (as seen in IE5+) will work with both.
