A good solution is the same used by xml_parser_set_option. ex: xml_parser_set_option($xp,XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING,'iso-8859-1') // This is what we have today $sxml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr); //$sxml = simplexml_import_dom($dom); var_dump($sxml->asXML()); // OK echo utf8_decode($sxml->menu->historico); $internalEncoding = 'iso-8859-1'; $sxml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr, $internalEncoding); //$sxml = simplexml_import_dom($dom); var_dump($sxml->asXML()); // OK echo $sxml->menu->historico; // now, no need of utf8_decode -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32431&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32431&r=mysqlcfg
