Thanks much! I've corrected my coding to do the following:
$buffer = file_get_contents($request_url) or die("url not loading");
$buffer = str_replace("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $buffer);
$xml = simplexml_load_string ($buffer);
Probably should use "iconv" to actually convert the funny character,
but .. my only goal here was obtaining the coordinates. You pointed
me in the right direction!
