Hi all,

How can I make a string with & (NOT &amp;, &gt;, &lt; or &quot;), <, > xml
compatible?
What is the expression to use?

Thank you very much.

Not entirely sure what you're after (try posting some before and after
snippets), but by the sounds of it you don't need a regular expression
- strtr() will work for you. Or str_replace().

Hi Richard,

Not exactly actually.

What I mean is:
Before: <p>hi <strong>Richard</strong>>, & good morning&lt;</p>
After: <p>hi <strong>Richard</strong>&gt;, &amp; good morning&lt;</p>

I hope it's clear now.

Are you trying to make it xml compatible or XHTML compatible? '&' is
not valid HTML or XHTML as it has special meaning. If you want it to
adhere to the standard and display correctly, you must use '&amp;'

Ok, let me tell you what i want to achieve.
I want to transfer users' blog onto mobile phone, so I should convert
characters such as >, <, & (but not &amp;, or &gt;, or &lt;, etc) into xml
compatible ones, &gt;, &lt; &amp;.

Maybe there is some problem in my expression?

Waiting for your response...
