[RESOLVED] strreplace within a file

[kbc1]

Hi all

I have an xml document which is generated at request but some of the free text content that a user might type in may include an ampersand (&) and in order to keep the xml document valid i need to replace the ampersands with &

I am looking for a simple way (via a function which will be run in the background) to open the xml document and do a full document find and replace. I.e find all occurances of & and replace them with & and then save the xml file.

can anyone provide some sample code that would achieve this?
Many thanks

Thanks but i have solved it by just doing the replace before the data is saved into the database.

You may want to pass your data through the htmlentities() function instead, which would translate all characters which have HTML character entity equivalents instead of just ampersand's.
