Hallo all,

I have a simple question. I have designed a migration tool in PHP which reads the data from a CSV data and writes it into a file as XML. So I don't have any problems with the process but I have defined the quotations like ' ' I mean like

<duties xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation='wuc.xsd'/> instead of

<duties xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="wuc.xsd"/>

Does it cause a big problem?

What makes you think this would be a problem? Both kinds of quotes can be used in XML, it's your choice.

Hallo Michael

I just wanted to be sure. I knew that too that it supports both of them but I was a bit anxious if I were wrong. Thanks for your reply.

Hallo Michael,

I have another question. Where can I find the list of special caharacters which have to be converted suitably to be included in an XML file such as & | etc?

For example if I write
<company>Procter & Gamble</company>

it is not a valid XML entry because of this "&" character.

Unfortunately I do seem to be almost the only person answering questions on this list, which is rather unsatisfactory: but all the same, it's a public forum, so please don't address questions specifically to one person.

You can find the rules at
