escape illegal xml characters

[simon551]

Hi,

 

does anyone know of a good function to escape all illegal characters?

 

I've been writing a bunch of string_replace functions for each of my files and it is getting pretty tedious and I don't know if I am even catching all the possible (or even likely) problems

 

	$row['project'] = str_replace("&", "&", $row['project']);
$row['project'] = str_replace("<", "-", $row['project']);
$row['project'] = str_replace(">", "-", $row['project']);
$row['internalNote'] = str_replace("/", ".", $row['internalNote']);
$row['internalNote'] = str_replace("&", "&", $row['internalNote']);
$row['vendor'] = str_replace("&", "&", $row['vendor']);
$row['description'] = str_replace("&", "&", $row['description']);
