Altova Mailing List Archives


My XML Feed Choked

I am relatively new to XML. I built a website using XML to transfer query 
results to web browsers. Everything was working and I was doing final 
testing before deploying it, but ran into an XML problem.

I got the following error:


  Whitespace is not allowed at this location. Error processing resource 
'http://compass/cgi-bin/keyword_search.php'. Line 15...

  <name>CO & CO</name>
------------^


'CO & CO' is a string that represents the name of a company that was fed out 
of the database as part of a query result. My PHP code builds it into XML
Apparently, XML doesn't like to see an '&' between it's tags. I though XML 
ignored everything between tags, so why does it snag on this? Is there a 
simple fix to this or must I go back and write exception code to handle 
these?

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
