strange parse error

Hello,

I created a country select thats created with some custom XML parser:
http://www.bergtoys.com/ dealer.php?lang=nl-NL

the XML file is here:
http://www.bergtoys.com/ Connections/countries_xml.php?lang=nl

the strange is that the country "Nieuw Zeeland" has error in the html only for the dutch language, if you check the same select menu in the english langauge it works fine: http://www.bergtoys.com/ dealer.php?lang=en

this is the code I use to parse the XML feed:

<?php
class Country_select {

var $xml_file = "http://www.bergtoys.net/Connections/countries_xml.php";

var $curr_val;

var $selected_val;

var $xml_parser;

var $featured;

function Country_select($current = "", $lang = "en", $elem_name = "country", $disabled = false, $auto_submit = false, $form_name = "") {

$this->selected_val = $current;

$this->featured = false;

$this->select_name = $elem_name;

$this->disable = $disabled;

$this->submit = $auto_submit;

$this->form = $form_name;

$this->xml_file .= "?lang=".$lang;

$this->select_parser();

}

function startElement($parser, $name, $attribs) {

$this->curr_val = $name;

if ($name == "country_list") {

echo "<select name=\"".$this->select_name."\"";

if ($this->submit) echo " onchange=\"document.".$this->form.".submit();\"";

echo ($this->disable) ? " disabled=\"disabled\">\n" : ">\n";

}

if ($name == "country_code") {

 echo ($this->featured) ? "  <option style=\"font-weight:bold;\" value=\"" : "  <option value=\"";

}

if (count($attribs) > 0) {

if ($attribs['feat'] == "y") $this->featured = true;

}

}

function endElement($parser, $name) {

if ($name == "country_list") echo "</select>\n";

if ($name == "country") $this->featured = false;

if ($name == "country_name") echo "</option>\n";

}

function characterData($parser, $data) {

if ($this->curr_val == "country_code") {

echo ($data == $this->selected_val) ? $data."\" selected=\"selected\">" : $data."\">";

}

if ($this->curr_val == "country_name") echo utf8_decode($data);

}

function select_parser() {

$this->xml_parser = xml_parser_create();

xml_set_object($this->xml_parser, $this);

xml_parser_set_option($this->xml_parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0);

xml_set_element_handler($this->xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");

xml_set_character_data_handler($this->xml_parser, "characterData");

$fp = fopen($this->xml_file, "r") or die("Error reading XML data.");

while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {

$data = eregi_replace(">[[:space:]]+<", "><", $data);

xml_parse($this->xml_parser, $data, feof($fp)) or die("Error while parsing XML data");

}

fclose($fp);

xml_parser_free($this->xml_parser);

}
}
?>

That's really strange.

1) What happens if you enable case folding? xml_parser_set_option($this->xml_parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 1);

2) What version of php you have?

that wil not work...

2) What version of php you have?

4.3.11

the funny thing is that I use the same XML data with a DOM parser in php5 and there is not that problem...

I know, the xml parser was bugy before php 5.

Try to use a parser class or even better/faster do a custom preg to parse that data.

Here is an example for RSS feeds :

Code:

<?php
$searchfile = eregi("<item>(.*)</item>", $readfile ,$arrayreg);
$filechunks = explode("<item>", $arrayreg[0]);
$count = count($filechunks);
for($i=1 ; $i<=$count-1 ;$i++)
{
   ereg("<title>(.*)</title>",$filechunks[$i], $title);
   ereg("<link>(.*)</link>",$filechunks[$i], $links);
   ereg("<description>(.*)</description>",$filechunks[$i], $descr);

that is my first xml parser in php4 and you gonna tell me that I have to throw it away?

It's ok, you can throw away your host, and get one with php5
