Problem
We had written a PHP program to parse large XML files and split each file into smaller chunks. Program was working fine for all the XML files except few. It was not splitting some XML files. After looking for the issue we found that ampersand character (&) was used in those XML files which parser was unable to split.
Solution
To solve this problem one solution is to use PHP function htmlspecialchars($str); to convert special characters contained in each value to equivalent html entity like & to &, < to <, > to > and so on.
The other solution is to replace special char manually in text editor.
