How to echo this exactly?

[Thauwa]

Hi

I once found out how to do this 4 years ago but I lost my backups and memory on the matter.

 

I want this xml to be echoed? out as it is.

When I try the standard echo and print, I get the first two lines of the code in gray when I view the page's source. I get no xml at all.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


<!DOCTYPE blah [

<!ELEMENT cart (title, items)>

<!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>

<!ELEMENT items (item)+>	

<!ELEMENT item (prive, deprive, onprive+)>

<!ELEMENT security (#PCDATA)>

<!ELEMENT answer (#PCDATA)>

<!ATTLIST answer correct (yeah) #IMPLIED>

]>

 

this is followed by the standard displaying of xml items

 

could anyone help me over here?

thanks in advance...

try using php's htmlspecialchars() actually, i think that is what you are looking for

Your browser is hiding the XML, you need to view source to see it.

Do you want to just display it as it is in the code blocks, or actually serve an XML document?

 

If the first, use htmlspecialchars() as mentioned. If the second, you'll need to use a header to set the content type to XML.

header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8');

I thank everyone for their replies.

I tried all the solutions you offered and found out that it was the header() that I wanted.

Thanks again!
