XML. Prevent < from turning into &lt;

Hiya,
I'm writing an app that let's my client upload images, the image html
code is added to an XML file.
Take a look at the element below:


e1022
Image" width="124" height="70" />]]>
Blue Ski Trousers
8.99


Now, whenever PHP writes this to the XML files, it turns the < and >
into < and > . which means it does not display on the webpage.
How can I prevent this from happening ?

Many thanks,
Matt

I've tried that but no matter what i do in the PHP side of things, as
soon as I save that XML the conversion takes place.
Should the XML be encoded in any way, is there a setting somewhere
that prevents this ?

Does the xml string get passed to htmlentities() or a similar function =
before it is sent to the browser? That would explain the substitutions. =
I saw an xmlentities() variation mentioned somewhere.

Perhaps you'd be so kind as to share with us what code you're using to
generate the erroneous XML?

Hi Bob,

Nope the string doesn't get passed into any function.
Here is the XML:
____________________________________________________________ _____





e1021
Image" width="124" height="70" border="1"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('uploads/
image1.jpg','Preview','width=680,height=520')" />]]>
Red Jacket
An adult sized red jacket
adult
12.99



e1022
Image" width="124" height="70" border="1"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('uploads/
image2.jpg','Preview','width=680,height=520')" />]]>
Blue Ski Trousers
A pair of Blue Ski Trousers
child
8.99




____________________________________________________________ ____

Now the image tags I have written here I have done manually, but when
I use PHP using DOM they come out like this (note the image element):


e1024
<![CDATA[<img src="uploads/image4.jpg" alt="Homepage
Image" width="124" height="70" border="1"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('uploads/
image4.jpg','Preview','width=680,height=520')" />]]>
orange top
an orange jacket
large
14.50

I've not experienced this with using any DOM functions, but if we can
see your code it might help us.
