Ultra NOOB question about strings

[Who8MyFish]

So I'm using simplexml_load_file($url) to load up a client's XML file so I can use it with a jQuery slide show right.

 

My problem is that some of the strings within the xml files are often times sentences and when I echo, for example...

 

 echo $xml->images->categories->category[$gallery]->images->image[0]->description[0]

;

 

I should see Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today but all I'm getting is Dream as if you

 

It appears as though php is getting confused when it sees those little single quotes.

 

Anyone?

You'd have to show us the XML file. It could be badly formatted.

 

It's hard to replicate your issue as it is.

Have you looked at the actual HTML source code? Depending on the context of how you are actually echoing that content it could be that the output is all there, but that the rendered HTML doesn't display it. For example, this HTML code would produce the result you describe

<a href='#' title='Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today'>Link</a>

The problem was in the html. the ' in "you'll" was somehow being switched to a doublequote and so the elemnt looked a little like this.

<a href='#' title='Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you"ll die today'>Link</a>

 

 

A simple htmlspecialchars($myString, ENT_QUOTES); took care of that reallll quick. Thanks for the help though, spot on!
