Using HTML with DOMXML

[henkerik]

I tried to make xml-files with the php-module DOMXML, It's working very good. but all the html-special-chars are escaped from my database content.

My database:
+-----------------------------+
| text |
+-----------------------------+
| Some <EM>Content</EM> |
+-----------------------------+

But when I parsed this to XML, I got this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Root>
<Text>Some &lt;EM&gt; Content &lt;/EM&gt;</Text>
</Root>

How can I fix this problem

The output xml-file:

<Root>
<Text>Some & lt ; EM& gt ; Content & lt ;/EM& gt ;
</Text>
</Root>

Read the XML recommendation!!!
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml

It´s because the < > " ' and & is reserved by the XML language. You have to encode you data in your db the correct way if you want to use XML.
