clickbank marketplace feed

fortony · 05-31-2009, 11:11 PM

We run the clickbank marketplace feed file in a script on some sites. There is a configuration issue on a server (everything works fine on other servers), which handles XML in PHP. When trying to update the file, we get this error XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 673.

Could you tell us what might be causing this so we can change the setting on the server?

I would be so grateful for any advice on this!!

Hi,

It looks like that particular server is using the wrong document type definition (DTD) and hitting an unknown tag during XML parsing.

The appropriate DTD ships with the feed as a separate file, be sure that the server has been updated with both files and so is using a matched pair.

If that's not the problem then best look at the differences between that server and the others which are working OK.

Regards,

Phil

They may be running an older version of php. If the server is not php5 and it is calling for simplexml that may be your trouble.

The Clickbank xml file is always screwed up. They don't handle the CDATA very well. This is more than likely due to poorly handled characters.

I deal with it all the time.

I realize you're getting the feed from some other place, but this is still a CB error/problem.
