note 63786 added to function.xml-parser-create

keyword: XML PHP parser error on line 1

after a grand struggle, the answer to my problem was simply:

stripslashes()

when XML content gets transferred via HTML through a POST,
" and ' becomes \" and \'.

xml_parser_create then does not locate the header of the XML
string variable, and you get XML error: something whatever
line 1. 

so grab your POSTed variable, but before you send it to your
parser (if you are using a freely available user-created
function such as xmlize() or something, chances are still
they are within the function using xml_parser_create), make
sure you run this:

stripslashes($_POST["xmlvariable"]);
