parsing problem

[jenni_fur]

hey, i actually have a number of problem with a project i'm working on but at the moment this is the most frustrating.

Two problems, firstly if I input over 1000 charasters to my xml file, in any particular field, it crashes! and secondly when i use anything like <>/""'' it crashes too! my attempt at using CDATA! scritp thus far has been unsuccessful and i woud be greatful for some input....!

this is the parser

What do you mean my "crash"?

yeah, i dont think i explained myself very well. Sorry

i have built a content management system to edit and update a site i'm working on, however if i input over 1000 characters into any particular field, it will only display the amout of characters in excess of the 1000 character limit.

At first i thought this was a simple html css problem, however on closer inspection, when i upload new info to the xmi via my content management system, it does actually work, however once i view it on the public site, only the excess characters show.

would it help if i posted the code that is supposed to print the content from the XML?? this is it below
[code]
<?php
include "./homeparser.inc";

?>

<?php
include "./homearray.inc";
?>
<div id="home">
<?php

echo "<h1>";
for( $i=0; $i < $lengthOfArrayHome; ++$i )
{
$thisNameHome = $person_data_home[$i]["welcome"];

echo $welcomeContent=$thisNameHome."<br>";
}
echo "<br>";
echo "whats new..";
echo "</h1>";
?>
  
<?php
echo "<h4>";
for( $i=0; $i < $lengthOfArrayHome; ++$i )
{
$thisNameHome = $person_data_home[$i]["newinfo"];

echo $newinfoContent=$thisNameHome."<br>";
}
echo "</h4>";
?>

<?php
echo "<h2>";
for( $i=0; $i < $lengthOfArrayHome; ++$i )
{
$thisNameHome = $person_data_home[$i]["main"];

echo $mainContent=$thisNameHome."<br>";
}
echo "</h2>";


?>
