Hello!

I've got an XML file that has the following tag:
<customtext text="first line&lt;br /&gt;second line" />

I parse it with the following handler (simplified a bit):

function start_tag($parser, $name, $attrs)
{
	global $text;
	if($name == "CUSTOMTEXT")
		$text = $attrs['TEXT'];
	// more tags here ..
}

When I echo $text in a HTML page, I see a linebreak - just as I 
intended.

One of our customers has the script installed on his server and he 
doesn't see a linebreak but sees <br /> printed out. He has to write 
the tag like this:
<customtext text="first line <br />second line" />

Now I've got two questions:
1. Which tag is correct XML?
2. What is the cause of this?

I'm running the script with PHP 4.1.2 and EXPAT Version 1.95.2
Don't know what our customer has running.

With best regards

Gabriel Birke
