 * Hi,
 * So I am making a plugin that send an xml via curl when the order is processing.
   
   I have a SyntaxError: Unexpected token < during Checkout.
 * Code that dont make the error
 *     ```
       $xml .= '<logo>
       <unique_id>'. $uid .'</unique_id>';
       $xml .= '<position>'. $position .'</position>
       <width>'. $width .'</width>
       <type>'. $print .'</type>
       </logo>';
       ```
   
 * Code that make the error
 *     ```
       $xml .= '<logo>
       <unique_id>'. $uid .'</unique_id>';
       $xml .= '<file><![CDATA['. $imgfile .']]></file>';
       $xml .= '<position>'. $position .'</position>
       <width>'. $width .'</width>
       <type>'. $print .'</type>
       </logo>';
       ```
   
 * File is a correct url, it doesn’t contain any specific character.
    The xml is
   sent correctly but the wc return to the place order page with SyntaxError: Unexpected
   token <
 * Any ideas why and how I can avoid having that error? I am running out of ideas
   on what to do!
 * note that
    $xml .= ‘<file>’. $imgfile .'</file>’; Also have the error so it’s
   not the CDATA (or so I think!).
 * note2
    $xml is not empty before I concatenate.

 * Update on the issue:
    I change $imgfile from a post_meta to a hard written url.
 * as exemple:
