    I"m just wondering why even have miva_cdata_encode? it doesn't seem to do any encoding that I can tell. From our import issues, I don't think it is encoding any of the data in any way besides the wrapper it puts around it.

        My take, it's more about the CDATA content and how it's handled. The function wraps the content with the correct CDATA syntax so you don't need to worry about getting it wrong.
        Then, remember that CDATA is an instruction for the XML parsing function for what to do or how to handle the data when the XML file is read/imported.

          Tje dpcumentation at http://www.mivascript.com/item/encod...ta_encode.html says:
          Create one or more CDATA tags with the provided text, splitting any data with "]]>" into two CDATA tags with "]]" at the end of one CDATA tag, and ">" as the first value of the next CDATA tag.
          That seems to answer both your questions. :^)
