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 è 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 è .
If you're using the correct character set all the way through, you only need to do htmlspecialchars() to convert things like & and <, 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.
As only UTF-8 and UTF-16 have to be supported, I'm concerned whether the processor might think it is some other encoding. 

The HTTP headers are:

Date => Sat, 15 Oct 2005 17:49:02 GMT
Server => Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_jk/1.2.8 PHP/5.0.4 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7a 
X-Powered-By => PHP/5.0.4
Cache-Control => no-cache
Connection => close
Content-Type => application/xml


header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8');
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.

Hi there!

I want to get conents of a file and split into a array...

   $s = file_get_contents($fileName);
   $splitS = preg_split("/\n/",$s);

Is this equal to using $splitS = file($fileName) ?

yes, it is equal, but i'd rather use file() function

I know I know I know. I don't like test message either but since I
started the upgrade I haven't received any new PHP mailings. Could be
just because of low traffic, but I need to make sure.
