I have now done these things :
(1) You have danish characters you want to send to your browser via
XML.
This is possible using UTF-8 encoding.
First make sure everyone knows you want to use UTF-8 in your XML
output.
You need something in your PHP like -
header("Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8");
This will tell the browser what character encoding to expect.
Then to encode the characters from your database, use something in
your PHP code like -
$address=utf8_encode($address);
to take care of the danish characters.
(2) Something that was pointed out to you ages ago, was the lack of a
header on your XML.
If you ever added it, you took it out again somewhere.
Try validating your XML http://www.micmus.dk/phpsqlajax_genxml.php at
-
http://www.validome.org/validate
And notice that it fails because of missing doctype.
Notice also that it guesses your character encoding as US-ASCII
You want something like this (called a doctype declaration) at the
top
of your XML file -
echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'>";
Notice that it tells the browser's XML parser to expect UTF-8
encoding.
But still it fails :-( here : http://www.micmus.dk/new_phpsqlajax_genxml.php
