Re: Re: ampersand in dom with utf-8

so I decided it would be best just to convert back to the original format so for this string: $string="braised beef shortribs with saut&eacute;ed greens, pearl onions and horseradish cream" I do an html_entity_decode($string); but this still gives me an error when I add it via the DOM functions but render with the è in php. If I look at the xml in firefox on a mac, it looks like this: <name>braised beef shortribs with saut?ed greens, pearl onions and horseradish cream</name> I know that this is a basic question but how could I get this go through? Here is how I'm actually adding via the DOMDocument class:

                        $name->appendChild($dom->createTextNode(html_entity_decode($item_row[slot])));
                        $item->appendChild($name);

Is there any way I could on the client side query the xml string for the encoding to be sure that that in fact is utf-8? The first line of the generated xml is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> thanks for any help. -jonathan On Oct 16, 2005, at 1:36 AM, ac wrote:

I'm now getting this error: XML Parsing Error: undefined entity with the following entity at the first ampersand: <item_name>farm lettuces with reed avocado, cr&egrave;me fra&icirc;che, radish and cilantro</item_name> Why is an ampersand considered an undefined entity?
