put failed with curl and simplexml

[surreal5335]

I am using curl to put an update to an xml file which is made into an simpleXML object then I use asXML() before putting the file to curl.

I have a three function setup for this:
>>get with a curl (works fine)
>>process data with simpleXML (maybe causing problems)
>>putting info with curl (works fine when used on other simpleXML calls)

I should note that the get and put with curl functions are being reused and succeed in all other cases I use it.

I just one unique function for this particular simpleXML call which does the processing. I am currently getting a 400 error when I try to put with curl (this is the most info I have at this point)

Here is my unique simpleXML process function:

PHP Code:

function processData($result, $value)
{
    
    $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($result);
    $newXML =     '<&quest;xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"&quest;>
        <subscription xmlns="http://domain.com">
            <status>'.$xml->status.'</status>
            <data>'.$value.'</data>
            <id>'.$xml->id.'</id>
            <card>
                <last-four>'.$xml->card->{"last-four"}.'</last-four>
                <type>'.$xml->card->type.'</type>
            </card>
            <charge>
                <currency>'.$xml->{"charge"}->currency.'</currency>
                <amount>9.99</amount>
            </charge>
            <charge-frequency>'.$xml->{"charge-frequency"}.'</charge-frequency>
            <date>'.$xml->date.'</date>
            <auto-renew>'.$xml->{"auto-renew"}.'</auto-renew>
            <last-charge-result>
                <result-code>'.$xml->{"last-charge-result"}->{"result-code"}.'</result-code>
            </last-charge-result>
        </subscription>';
    
    $newSimpleXML = new SimpleXMLElement($newXML);
    
    $newSimpleXML->data = $value;
    $newXML = $newSimpleXML->asXML();
    echo '$value is: "'.$value.'"<br />';
    echo 'new status is: '.$newSimpleXML->data.'<br />';
    echo 'The data was: '.$xml->data;

    return $newXML;
} 


the $result is derived from the get curl function, I have checked the output it is getting all the info I need





I appreciate any help in the matter

Why the ? entities? Why not use a simple question mark? Have you tried removing the XML prolog entirely?

[surreal5335]

I out the &quest entities in so the [PHP] would not get thrown off and would continue reading the rest of the code as php.

I have tried without the prolog still I get the same result.

I also have simplified it down to using poster for firefox, to get a simplified result, but still I dont get anything good. Just a 404 error

Ah, yes, short_open_tags... I'd forgotten about that. (That's what causes <?xml ?> to be read as PHP code.)

We might need a little bit more code - specifically, how you're calling processData(). Also, are you really using HTTP PUT or HTTP POST?
