I tried following:
I downloaded the ominous html page, coded it as UTF-8 (with text-editor option)
and added a metag-tag declaring utf-8 encoding:
<meta http-equiv = 'content-type' content = 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'>
I checked that the special characters were written correctly then (actually I
had to correct them).
Then I used the function:
$doc = new DomDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
The result is still the same, special chars are displayed wrong. Different
wrong than before :-) but still wrong... ("ä" is now "ä").
I tried analogy to do the same with "ISO-8859-1" but it's not getting better...
So, fazit, even converting the whole document in UTF-8 and adding UTF-8 charset
declaration to it, doesn't help me handling special chars...
And what about the img-tags which are converted into what ever invisible chars
(empty spaces looking at the source code)...?
Thank you very much for your help!
