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

[Ben Bradley]

Correction:
I think I was uploading to an incorrect address.

When I run a curl call on the FMP XML data URL on the new provider... the XML gets returned with all special chars in the fields replaced with their HTML entities... > < " etc

When I run the exact same CURL call on the old provider, exactly the same output.
I assume the > < is what FMU6 returns and not some processing by FX.php

When I run a CURL call on the new provider to a regular HTML page, the HTML gets returned as expected... With no special chars removed.

So it seems CURL might not be the culprit after all.
Or at least the default CURL options in my custom get_webpage() function

Are you running Mac workstation?

I would do a print_r( $result ); of your problem query.

and copy the URL part of the array

and open terminal, type the following

curl <<pasteTheUrl>>

ggt
