Hi, 
while parsing an XML response (using expat) from a 3rd party 
server. The parsing works fine, with the exception for one 
tag for which the info for an attribute is droped (empty). The 
thing is that the tag occur more than once and is parsed 
correctly the other times. 
 
I also tried to print the attributes for each of those tags, but 
php seems crash (seg. fault error in apache log) after the 
second occurance of the LAYINFO tag (this is also the tag 
which loses the ID attribut value). 
 
When I switched back to php 4.2.3, the parsing works fine 
again. 
 
Thanks for your help, 
Christoph

What is your XML parsing code?
 [2003-03-26 09:40 UTC] spoerri at duke dot edu 
I'm sending you here only code snippets, in case you need 
the rest of the code let me know. Note: the code is 
embedded in the code for an object. 
 
** here's the code used to setup the parser: *** 
      
$this->xml_parser=xml_parser_create($this->encode_type); 
      xml_set_object($this->xml_parser,&$this); 
      
xml_set_element_handler($this->xml_parser,"startElement","endElement"); 
      
xml_set_character_data_handler($this->xml_parser,"cdata"); 
      $this->depth=0; 
      $this->parent=array(); 
      $this->pobject=array(); 
		$this->$IMSError=array(); 
      xml_parse($this->xml_parser,$XMLText); 
      xml_parser_free($this->xml_parser); 
 
 
** here's the code I use to parse the 'LAYERINFO' tag: ** 
 
		case 'LAYERINFO': 
			//parent tag is always RESPONSE 
			$l = new arcLayer($attrs['ID'], 
$attrs['TYPE'], 
($attrs['NAME']?$attrs['NAME']:''),($attrs['MINSCALE']?$attrs['MINSCALE']:0),($attrs['MAXSCALE']?$attrs['MAXSCALE']:0), 
(strtolower($attrs['VISIBLE'])=='true'?1:0), 1); 
			if ($this->returnLayer($l->Name,$index)) { 
				if ($this->Layers[$index]->Service) { 
					$this->Layers[$index]=$l; 
					
$this->CurrentLayer=&$this->Layers[$index]; 
				} 
			}else{ 
				$this->Layers[]=$l; 
				
$this->CurrentLayer=&$this->Layers[count($this->Layers)-1]; 
			} 
			break;

Please provide the shortest possible version of the code (that can be ran as is) as well as the xml data that causes the problem. Without it the problem cannot and will not be resolved.
