I have a large file, so I have created a filter for removing invalid utf-8 characters from XML.
class ValidUTF8XMLFilter extends php_user_filter {
protected static $pattern = '/([\x09\x0A\x0D\x20-\x7E]|[\xC2-\xDF][\x80-\xBF]|\xE0[\xA0-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]|[\xE1-\xEC\xEE\xEF][\x80-\xBF]{2}|\xED[\x80-\x9F][\x80-\xBF]|\xF0[\x90-\xBF][\x80-\xBF]{2}|[\xF1-\xF3][\x80-\xBF]{3}|\xF4[\x80-\x8F][\x80-\xBF]{2})|./x';
function filter($in, $out, &$consumed, $closing)
{
while ($bucket = stream_bucket_make_writeable($in)) {
$bucket->data = preg_replace(self::$pattern, '$1', $bucket->data);
$consumed += $bucket->datalen;
stream_bucket_append($out, $bucket);
}
return PSFS_PASS_ON;
}
}
This filter will remove also utf-8 characters not only invalid in xml, but also in utf-8. The regex is taken from Multilingual form encoding. The class was taken from this answer: How to skip invalid characters in XML file using PHP and rewritten. The pattern in that answer won't work for invalid utf-8 characters, eg. 0x1D.
Will this filter work, in situation, where invalid bytes starts at the end of buffer and ends in beginning of next filtering? Is this situation possible?
