[Xerte-dev] Re: FW: Further Xerte Data Loss

[Julian Tenney]

On this occasion, the file has broken half way through a CDATA section, so everything ought to have escaped OK.

Just to be certain: data.xml is the published file, right, and preview.xml is the editing file?

In which case it is the published file that has broken, and the editing file is complete with a <learningObject> tag. I'll attach them, I'm just asking if he minds if I share the files.

What I've seen is that the PHP (or whatever) can't read the XML file as it has the wrong encoding specified, or it just somehow contains characters that are invalid.

see e.g.
