Yes that's right,
it's UTF-8 but i want to be able to transcode it to
ISO-8859-1.
You're right i'm using the XMLString::transcode()
method and i'm guess from what you say that it's not
the best way to do it.
That's how the orginal XML file looks like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<name>Moléculaire</name>
....
What shall i use than to transcode it properly, i mean
to display the name properly using sax?
