Re: actually the è not the ampersand

do you then have to do the reverse operation to get it back for  
rendering. Since it was erroring on me during DOM creation, I feel  
like I'm going around it to put it into a format it likes but then on  
display via XSL transformation, I will have to convert it back. Or am  
I missing something?

thanks again for your help.

I'm not sure how php / DOM handles these non-standard other  
entities.  How would / could I escape this? do I need to convert  
it to something  else to make DOM happy (say grave) and then  
convert it back when  outputted? It seems like there might be a  
way to use  createEntityReference but searching through google  
shows no examples.  arg.....

I have to do this to create XML documents for our company, and  
built this function for it.  You're welcome to use/modify it to fit  
your needs.

function convertString ( $string ) {
