What about html_entity_decode? http://www.php.net/html_entity_decode No. It doesn't help in this case. DOMDocument->saveHTML() method converts any non-ascii characters into entities. For example, if the dom document has the text node value of:

       שלום

It converts the string to entities:

       שלום

Although the string is already in UTF-8. The DOMDocument is already initialized with version "1.0" and encoding "UTF-8", the php file is in UTF-8, the xml file is in UTF-8 and got <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> header. Example: <?php $dom = new DOMDocument('1.0','utf-8'); $dom->loadXML("<html><body>שלום</body></html>"); $output = $dom->saveHTML(); header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"); echo $output; ?> -thanks

Did you set the UTF8 format in the html_entity_decode function? so your code would become: <?php $dom = new DOMDocument('1.0','utf-8'); $dom->loadXML("<html><body>שלום</body></html>"); $output = $dom->saveHTML(); header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"); echo html_entity_decode($output,ENT_QUOTES,"UTF-8"); ?> I'm not really sure about it, but i'm not using UTF8. Also have a look at the comments under the html_entity_decode function, and at the functions/comments of utf8_encode/utf8_decode. Tijnema
