I don't know how MS encodes its smart quotes but there are certainly Unicode-compliant equivalents: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/general_punctuation.html And XML is friendly to utf-8 (assuming you do want utf-8). - Original Message - From: Russell P Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2003 12:03 AM Subject: [PHP] Clarification.

Identify common problematic characters, and develop a function (series of str_replace()'s) to convert them to suit. Over time, you can always add to this function as you spot more problematic characters. Also look at something like Tidy (see archives in the last week where it was discussed with the subject tags to lowercase).
