How do you handle in case there are & and special characters in the xml data.
Hi Arun,
Can you please show me your XML data, which you trying to insert in zoho crm.
You may try adding & symbol in the company name in your sample. ‘company & name’;. It will return 4835Unable to parse XML data ;
$xml .= ”;
$xml .= ”;
$xml .= ‘Slide Share’;
$xml .= ‘company & name’;
$xml .= ‘first name’;
$xml .= ‘last name’;
$xml .= ’email id’;
$xml .= ‘phone’;
$xml .= ‘country’;
$xml .= ”;
$xml .= ”;
Hi Arun,
You have to use this & instead of & symbol in xml. OR you can remove this & symbol before passing in xml request.
I assume you mean ‘&’ instead of &. I tried it. Still the same error.
