[FX.php List] Switch of web host - HTML special chars stripped from FX output (FMU6)

[Ben Bradley]

Nope, exactly the same version of FX.php on both providers.
And they both access the same FMU6 server and the same databases.
When I check the site on the old provider it still works fine.

I have already tried accessing the data URL, but I did it again and here are the results.
When I call up the data URL and view the XML output in a browser, the special chars are all preserved.
When I make a curl call to the data URL on the new provider (using a custom curl wrapper function) the special chars are being removed.

Seems the special chars are getting removed in the curl call.
Is there any change in PHP configuration which could be causing this?


Thanks, Ben

So there is a different FMU6 in this case?
