Re: Encoding support in SAX-like interface

I know that in PHP4 and older xml_parser used expat parser as an underlying implementation and was limited to characters in ISO-8859-1. According to documentation in PHP5 xml_parser should be built on the top of libxml2. Thus I thought that it would support all encodings supported by libxml2. My experience is that characters outside of ISO-8859-1 are replaced by ? in the same way as expat does it.

Never mind. I figured out that layering on top of libxml2 is little non-intuitive, but if I specify optional parameter on xml_parser_create() I can read document in whatever encoding supported by libxml2 and this encoding is internally converted into utf-8. $parser = xml_parser_create("utf-8"); -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jirka Kosek e-mail: jirka@kosek.cz http://www.kosek.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------ Profesionální školení a poradenství v oblasti technologií XML.
