I use DOMDocument for editing some HTML files, but some of theme have in their names spaces. So DOMDocument automaticly change the spaces to %20 and then can't find them.
This is how looks the error exactly:
Warning: DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: Entity 'nbsp' not defined in file:///C:/Path/To/The/File/01%20c%2040-1964.html, line: 11 in C:/Path/To/class.php on line 51
How to repair this error?
Use DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile() instead of load(). That's what it has been made for. HTML is not XML.
XML does not know the named entity . However if you use loadHTML, the XML parser will get the HTML named entities loaded so the error goes away.
See as well: XML parser error: entity not defined.
If you load xml - use htmlentities() with flag ENT_XML1.
$offerXml->addChild('name', htmlentities($name, ENT_XML1));
Here is how to parse a XHTML snippet that contains HTML entities like .
The example is from a piece of code that parses such XHTML exported from Confluence API, including custom elements like <ac:structured-macro>. This is why you need to set up namespaces. Change or remove the xmlns attributes to suit your use case.
$snippet = '<p>hello world</p>';
$entitydefs = XML_HTML_DEFS;
$xml = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE root [
$entitydefs
]>
<root
xmlns:ac="http://www.atlassian.com/schema/confluence/4/ac/"
xmlns:ri="http://www.atlassian.com/schema/confluence/4/ri/"
xmlns="http://www.atlassian.com/schema/confluence/4/">
$snippet
</root>
XML;
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($xml);
where XML_HTML_DEFS is this (you can remove the ones you know won't occur):
const XML_HTML_DEFS = <<<ENTITIES

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr"> to just <html> my page looks odd... no styles or line-breaks now. But did fix it mostly!Another option, if you have some control over the documents to be passed to DOMDocument is to use HTML entities (   ) or unicode characters ( U+00A0 ) instead of named characters ( ).
Assuming the following documents: Document 1 ( test_1.xml )
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<element>this line has a space ( )</element>
<element>this line has a non breakin space ( )</element>
<element>this line has an integral symbol (∫)</element>
</root>
Document 2 ( test_2.xml )
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<element>this line has a space ( )</element>
<element>this line has a non breakin space ( )</element>
<element>this line has an integral symbol (∫)</element>
</root>
Document 3 ( test_3.xml )
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<element>this line has a space ( )</element>
<element>this line has a non breakin space (U+00A0)</element>
<element>this line has an integral symbol (U+222B)</element>
</root>
And a php file that loads those documents: ( index.php )
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xml_file = file_get_contents( "test_2.xml" );
$xmlDoc->loadXML( $xml_file );
?>
The first document will generate warnings like the following:
Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): Entity 'nbsp' not defined in Entity, line: 4 in /path/to/file/index.php on line 5
Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): Entity 'int' not defined in Entity, line: 5 in /path/to/file/index.php on line 5
But documents 2 and 3 will be parsed fine.
Reference:
$textHTML = '<ul> <li>Dentro da ordem jur&iacute;dica
brasileira.</li> </ul>
save in the XML file like this:
htmlspecialchars($textHTML, ENT_QUOTES);
recover the file like this:
$doc->load(file.xml);
