I've never used domit but I have used php5's DOM. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.dom.php To get them back to the characters simple run it through htmlspecialchars_decode http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars-decode.php If your still using PHP4 use this instead. function htmlspecialchars_decode_PHP4($uSTR) { return strtr($uSTR, array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES))); } I've not personally tested it but it's found on that page. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
