mahmood Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I am trying to read a XML file which contains some french characters for example: <Title>La France virile: Des femmes tondues à la Libération</Title> The following script is used to read out the file: $contents = file_get_contents($file);echo $contents; The problem is that à la Libération changes to tondues à la Libération How can I get correct these strange characters?
