kingpin393 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hi, I am pulling data from flat text files and converting them into XML files using DOM. My problem seems to be with encoding. A lot of the flat text files have trademark symbols, degree signs, sup characters etc. When trying to add these to nodes in XML it seems to cause a problem. I understand this is because XML doesn't like these characters. I am trying to convert them using htmlentities() so that trademarks become ™ etc... The problem is when it saves them to xml it looks like ™ - it seems when the file is saved it encodes it again. I imagine this is a common issue but I could find no real help by googling it, maybe I am searching the wrong thing... Any help is appreciated.

kingpin393 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 I am pretty sure I figured it out. When saving to xml I let the symbols get encoded to ™ or ° etc. Then when I read the xml it auto decoded the &'s to be & and when echoing to the browser the symbols showed up correctly.
