[PHP] Re: ampersand in dom with utf-8
seems that `DomDocument-createTextNode()' accepts only utf-8 string, try encode the text before pass it to that function. in browser side, you can view document property, browser generally allow you to specify any encoding used to view a page, try get familar with you browser first.

Re: [PHP] Re: ampersand in dom with utf-8
So I'm reading up on character encoding in XML documents as I think this is the problem (after the many helpful suggestions on this list). With regards to your second question; no, I'm not sure if I'm using proper utf-8 througout the entire process. When I input from the form I'm converting everything via htmlentities . This is why I'm getting egrave; etc... (On a side note, is there a function or way to check to see if a form is using the native characters (from a copy and paste of a word document like è) or the HTML entity egrave; . I've changed the content-type from text/xml to application/xml but that doesn't seem to help. As only UTF-8 and UTF-16 have to be supported, I'm concerned whether the processor might think it is some other encoding.

If you're using the correct character set all the way through, you only
need to do htmlspecialchars() to convert things like amp; and lt;, as
all the other characters should already be present in the character set
you are using (UTF-8). htmlentities() is mostly used for converting
characters outside of your character set into entities.
I've changed the content-type from text/xml to application/xml but that
doesn't seem to help.

X-Powered-By = PHP/5.0.4

I guess pursuant to cc's suggestion, I should do an html_entity_decode
when I make the xml document and then do another htmlentities on the
html representatoin.
Shouldn't be any need. Characters like è don't have any special meaning
in XML, and they can be represented in the UTF-8 character set, so
there's no need to convert them to entities at any stage.

the real characters (presumably è) won't render correctly. it seems like there should be a set of functions for encoding this to a different but understandable format and then another function for decoding and display within a browser. it makes me not want to use DOM for creating xml files. -jonathan On Oct 13, 2005, at 1:53 AM, Marcus Bointon wrote: On 13 Oct 2005, at 07:24, cc wrote: both `egrave;' and `icirc;' are not entities in charset utf-8, use `amp;egrave;' and `amp;icirc;' instead.

[PHP] Re: ampersand in dom with utf-8
maybe i should have said: egrave; is not an _xml_ entity.
i m not very sure.
sorry.
`egrave;' is an html entity,
represents the letter `è' in iso-8859-1 charset,
which have ascii value of 0xe8 .
to have it recognized by libxml, there are 3 ways to do this:
1, ?xml version=1.0item_name#e8;/item_name
2, ?xml version=1.0 encoding=iso-8859-1item_nameè/item_name
3, ?xml version=1.0item_nameè/item_name
1 can be saved using either utf-8 encoding or iso-8859-1 encoding;
2 must be saved using iso-8859-1 encoding
3 must be saved using utf-8 encoding ( to have `è' be converted properly)
in php, we can do this:
$html = html_entity_decode('item_namefarm lettuces with reed
avocado, cregrave;me
fraicirc;che, radish and cilantro/item_name');
$dom = DomDocument::loadXML(?xml version=\1.0\
encoding=\iso-8859-1\$html);
