Xml Error Message Example
5 down vote favorite 3 SEE EDITS AT BOTTOM TO SHOW MORE ACCURATE ERROR OUTPUT I'm parsing somewhat large (~15MB) XML files with PHP for the first time using SimpleXML. The files are flight search results so they have long attributes (links back to Kayak; example: "/book/flightcode=1238917408.NxJI6G.0.F.ORBITZAIR,ORBITZAIR.0.f36f1ea92513977249aa695112410052&sid=26-Vu01v7ilzhSAjPVLZ3Ul" SimpleXML throws this error when parsing: "Entity: line 10: parser error : EntityRef: expecting ';' in" and then; "38917408.NxJI6G.0.F.ORBITZAIR,ORBITZAIR.0.f36f1ea92513977249aa695112410052&sid in" xml error codes and then; "simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: ^ in," and so forth for each line where there are these urls. I found a mention of SimpleXML not liking long attributes on php.net with no solution. I would rather just use and learn SimpleXML for now and work past this error if there is a non-janky, somewhat easy workaround. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance! I tried entering the first 13 lines of the XML but it only outputs the info without the XML so.... I can do that if it will help. I'm not sure if using another parser/extension would reduce the functionality or ease of use but please feel free to suggest another if there's not workaround (DOM or XMLReader is what I'm thinking perhaps).

See this response, since I don't have enough clout to upvote :) I started on this problem with many potential culprits, but after lots of diagnostics the problem is still there and no obvious answers remain.

How can I parse this to return that content? iati-activity[0]->location[0]->gazetteer-entry; ?> Which never fails to return this: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';' I've tried changing the syntax to avoid the hyphens in the tag names as such: echo $xmlfile["iati-activity"][0]["location"][0]["gazetteer-entry"]; . . . but that returns complete nothingness; no error, no source. I've also tried debugging based on these otherwise-helpful threads, but none of the solutions have worked.
