& in buy url field being stripped out

Submitted by babrees on Tue, 2009-02-10 17:52 in

DGM and LinkShare networks both have & within their buy url. It appears that this is being stripped out when I import their feed so of course the links don't work.

Hi Jill,

I'm looking into this issue with another user at the moment. The feeds appear to be formatted fine - but some versions of PHP are incorrectly ignoring perfectly valid entities. I will send you a test file to try on your server to see if this is the case...

Cheers,
David.

Hi everyone,

Just an update in-case anybody else has a similar problem, this is caused by a PHP/xmllib bug currently documented at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45996

It only occurs with a particular PHP / xmllib version combination, so not too many users should be affected, but if you are, I have developed a work-around - email me if required...

Cheers,
David.
