XML Data

[kmishra]

Hi,

I have added some steps to a tests.These steps are in the XML format.An example of one being given below.

<corecom:Name>Demo</corecom:Name>

Now,on submittinghat this steps to the browser and viewing it,the result shown is
Demo.

The XML tags are not visible.
On checking in the Database,the column value is <corecom:Name>Demo</corecom:Name>

While retrieving the data on the browser,the tags are not visible...

I am a newbie in php..Please help....
If any further information is needed,pls let me know...

If you display the page as HTML (which probably means you're not using the right Content-Type header) then the browser won't show any tags. And any tags that it doesn't recognise, it ignores.

If you are trying to display the page as HTML in a web browser, try using the browser's "View Source" option.

On checking the view source,i can see the xml tags.
<corecom:Name>Demo</corecom:Name>

I have included the below string in my php file
htmlentities($step_action, ENT_COMPAT);

But this solves half the problem.
Now,when I am adding these steps from the browser,the tags are visible.
But when importing an excel sheet containing the same xml tag,it shows as
&ltcorecom:Name&gtDemo&lt/corecom:Name&gt
