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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32431&edit=1
