XML Parser: Invalid Character Was Found in Text Content

[bizonix]

some bug report ( PHP_VERSION: 5.3.18, LIBXML_VERSION: 20800, LIBXML_NOXMLDECL: 2)

PHP Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): Char 0x0 out of allowed range in Entity, line: 5892 in /private/tmp/CFPropertyList/classes/CFPropertyList/CFPropertyList.php on line 256
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'DOMException' in /private/tmp/CFPropertyList/classes/CFPropertyList/CFPropertyList.php:256

A possible solution:
preg_replace('/[^\x{0009}\x{000a}\x{000d}\x{0020}-\x{D7FF}\x{E000}-\x{FFFD}]+/u', '', $str);

Could you paste the relevant XML?

Ok, sorry but this is not an issue of CFPropertyList. A zero byte in XML is forbidden. You have to wrap it in base64. If you want to store binary data, you should wrap it in CFData instead of CFString.

Of course we cannot simply remove characters from the XML…
