Hi, So I decided to give one of those PHP math classes a go and have come across a joyful character encoding problem. He's the deal: $rule = "1 < 2"; $rule = html_entity_decode($rule, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); echo $rule; And the result is still "1 < 2". I've tried different combinations of character encodings and quotings, to no avail. Any ideas of where I should look for the culprit? Marc
