HI all ! I'm using XML::simple to parse a file build in a xml form. With a file on my compute I don't have any problems. But in fact, some informations is stocked in a mysql data base and a php send it in a xml form on a page. With a socket I save the xml and the pass it to xml::simple. I have problems with encoding, xml::simple says :
not well-formed (invalid token) at line 2, column 39, byte 61 at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser.pm line 187 at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser.pm line 192 XML::Parser::parse('XML::Parser=HASH(0x84e32c8)', '<?xml version="1.0"?>\x{a}<eleve nom="qsdqsd" prenom="Rapha...') called at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/XML/Simple.pm line 343 XML::Simple::build_tree_xml_parser('XML::Simple=HASH(0x84e3244)', 'undef', 'SCALAR(0x82cfd58)') called at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/XML/Simple.pm line 282 XML::Simple::build_tree('XML::Simple=HASH(0x84e3244)', 'undef', 'SCALAR(0x82cfd58)') called at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/XML/Simple.pm line 223 XML::Simple::XMLin('<?xml version="1.0"?>\x{a}<eleve nom="qsdqsd" prenom="Rapha...') called at osp.pl line 64
my script bug because of this :
<eleve nom="qsdqsd" prenom="Raphaël" classe="Seconde L" adresse="Léon Bourgain" code_postal="3423" ville="machin" pays="France" telephone="3421434">
It's because I have some special caracters. How can I pass this problem, with encoding ? Thank you very much for your help !
