Grab your XML document, check to see if it's in windows-1252, and if it is, run it through the iconv functions, then parse the XML data. Thanks. I tried this on my Windows development server and got absolutely no output from these functions, so gave up. Now i'm wondering whether it's just a Windows-only bug: I'll have to look and see if my web hosting has this installed as it would be a smart option if it did work. Using the unicode translation tables I built some kind of translation table which seemed to work, but it converted to utf-16 rather than utf-8, so everything showed as little squares rather than characters :-( Otherwise this would have worked nicely (contact me if you want more details).

Re: [PHP] Dealing with XML charsets
Peter, What OS are you running this on...if you are on windows then uncomment the php_iconv.dll in your php.ini file and then you can see if you can run the iconv functions. If you are running under unix/linux then you need to compile php with the iconv functions. Example ./configure --with-iconv=/location/of/iconv Iconv is a gnu app that you use for the conversions. You can get more info GNU's website about iconv...

[PHP] Dealing with XML charsets
Hi, Has anyone any advice as to how to deal with XML documents encoded in windows-1252: a character set that PHP's XML extension won't process? I've got a large number of such documents, and using xml_parse_into_struct() would be the easiest way to handle them - but because of the encoding problem I keep on ending up with ? instead of characters in the document in certain places. Is there any way I could convert the charset? Thanks Peter -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
