• The Processing Instruction Target Matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is Not Allowed

  Thanks Ben but the loop method actually works quite well as there is only 3-4 XML blocks returned each time. I'm looping over them and stuffing the response into an array to return back to my calling page which is just the job :)... read more »

  At last! That little idea worked nicely and I now have xmlparse working on the three blocks. Probably not the most efficient method but considering I've spent the last week on this flipping thing I don't care! :D... read more »

  Nope, it is an XML response generated by the Nominet EPP service. Now I've cleaned it quite a bit already removing the ascii chars. etc but what I might try is replacing the </epp> with </epp>| and then looping over it to separate the response into three separate blocks...... read more »

I'm currently using a tool to encrypt the entire contents of my code admin folder which I encrypts and password protects the encrypted file so it's "impossible" to decrypt. I wanted, however, to move away from this and just encrypt the application.cfc and hide the ... read more »

  To turn the post on it's head... How would you prevent someone from dumping the application vars using CF7? Let's say I want to encrypt my application.cfc file and leave all the other CFM templates unencrypted.
