Re: ampersand in dom with utf-8

[cc <nyvsld@xxxxxxxxx>]

maybe i should have said: è is not an _xml_ entity.
i m not very sure.
sorry.

`è' is an html entity,
represents the letter `è' in iso-8859-1 charset,
which have ascii value of 0xe8 .

to have it recognized by libxml, there are 3 ways to do this:
1, <?xml version="1.0"><item_name>&#e8;</item_name>
2, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"><item_name>è</item_name>
3, <?xml version="1.0"><item_name>è</item_name>

1 can be saved using either utf-8 encoding or iso-8859-1 encoding;
2 must be saved using iso-8859-1 encoding
3 must be saved using utf-8 encoding ( to have `è' be converted properly)


in php, we can do this:

   $html = html_entity_decode('<item_name>farm lettuces with reed
avocado, cr&egrave;me
fra&icirc;che, radish and cilantro</item_name>');
   $dom = DomDocument::loadXML("<?xml version=\"1.0\"
encoding=\"iso-8859-1\">$html");
