Re: XML, strings and foreign (swedish/danish) characters

I'm on the point of almost giving up trying to get XML and PHP to sing along, but I'll throw out a question here first. I'm having severe problems getting PHP and XML to work with XML-files that contains foreign characters. Doesnt matter if i type the foreign characters in by myself hardcoded in the PHP-script, or if I get them from external XML-files, or if I get them directly from the database. utf8_encode() helps a bit, in the way that it makes the script work at least, but instead of the string "mængde" PHP outputs "mængde"…

After processing the xml, use utf8_decode to get back to iso-8859-1

Is there any way to get XML to work together with PHP, or should I simply resign and try with ASP instead? Very thankful for any help that points in the right direction… Sincerely Victor
