[RESOLVED] Any way to get SimpleXML to ignore html?

[Phire]

I made something that parses input formed in XML, however the input might consist of HTML. When processing the XML in SimpleXMLElement, it takes the plain text between the tags but not the HTML (I assume cause it has processed it like XML). Is there any way I could get it to ignore HTML tags and treat it like plain text? This is the type of input btw:

<entry id="1">Some text <img src="image.jpg"/> hello</entry>

Your example is not valid XML. If you do not want the <img> tag to be parsed as an XML tag, then the field contents should be marked as CDATA:

<entry id="1">[color=red]<![CDATA[[/color]some text <img src="image.jpg"/> Hello[color=red]]]>[/color]</entry>
