Php Xml Parser Weirdness 14.10.08


I need someone to help with a painful issue I think is related to the XML parser. I have some legacy code that converts an rss feed to html using the XML parser for php. It has run fine on centos 4 systems with php 4 and apache 1.3, centos 4 systems with php 5 and apache 1.3, but when we try to run it on an identically configured (apache, php, modules, ini settings etc) centos 5 php 5 apache 2 system it strips the greater-than and less-than tags and leaves the tag content, thus rendering the output incorrectly. For example $lt;p$gt; is rendered as p – this breaks all of the formatting in our feed content.

While we have a dirty workaround we have no idea WHY this happens on this one server. We need to know before proceeding with our migrations.
