Re: Problems with danish characters æ,ø,å in infobox

[Martin]

Here's a simple PHP function i created to process MySQL query results
into a format that was compatible with being used in an XML file:

function encodedString($unencodedString){
        $string=htmlspecialchars($unencodedString);
        $string=utf8_encode($string);
        return $string;
}

Check out the PHP documentaion:

http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php

<quote>
Certain characters have special significance in HTML, and should be
represented by HTML entities if they are to preserve their meanings.
This function returns a string with some of these conversions made;
the translations made are those most useful for everyday web
programming. If you require all HTML character entities to be
translated, use htmlentities() instead.
</quote>

And the documentation for htmlentities() states:

<quote>
This function is identical to htmlspecialchars() in all ways, except
with htmlentities(), all characters which have HTML character entity
equivalents are translated into these entities.
