Hi All,

I am using authorize.net ARB code. I have used php code for this. I am getting following error response from authorize.net:

"Message: An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 30, position 85.
E00003"

Can somebody help me to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

It a xml error, just like the error said, it can't parse the entity name, check your data.

I got the reason why it is happening. it is due to special charaters in the data.

It is due to "&" in the data. I am using htmlentities () function of php.

Is that secure to use this function to convert special characters to html entities?
