xml handling in php4
given xml input as a string with a xml declaration that specifies the encoding, what can i do to always get back utf-8 data in my character data handler?
that is, how do i get "i ♥ são paulo" as utf-8 given either of these two inputs:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <foo>i ♥ são paulo</foo>
<?xml version="1.0"?> <foo>i ♥ são paulo</foo>
handling the second case is easy, it is the first case that i can't figure out.
and someone deserves a kick in the teeth for making php4's xml parser default to iso-8859-1.
Have you tried:
xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING, 'UTF-8')
