I am using curl to send xml requests to API from Emailvision. I am having trouble lately where some requests result in "500 Internal Server Error", while others are sent without any errors.
The output of verbose is pasted below, can someone please help me interpret what might be causing the error.

And below is the curl snippet I am using to make requests.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,'https://api.notificationmessaging.com/NMSXML'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $sXML); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 600); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, 0); $res = curl_exec($ch);
Can someone please help.
Thanks
UPDATE:
Found that the problem is with some characters like â in the xml, as pointed out by Mark. Now is there a way to remove/convert all chars not recognized in xml?
