Thank you for your interest in PHP. can you provide a small script as I cant reproduce the corruption you are getting Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-04 08:47:14] tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk Description: ------------ I have a field with the value "Cote d'Ivoire" (where the letter 'o' is actually 'o circumflex') which is not being deal with correctly by $doc->create_text_node(). If I pass the text through htmlentities() beforehand what appears in the XML output is "Côte d'Ivoire" instead of "Côte d'Ivoire". If I do not use htmlentities() on the value the output is "C&#x134960d'Ivoire" (which is totally corrupt) instead of "Côte d'Ivoire" (which is what I expect). A similar fault exists with all the other special charcters I have tried, such as 'c cedila' etc. Expected result: ---------------- If my input is "Co(circumflex)te d'Ivoire" I expect the output to be "Côte d'Ivoire" Actual result: -------------- Instead of "Côte d'Ivoire" I am getting "C&#x134960d'Ivoire" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24934&edit=1
