Find out what encoding the file is in (the HTTP header /should/ tell you, if it doesn't then the XML prolog should), and use that. Of course, its possible the encoding information sent with the file is wrong, in which case you could try guessing (and should certainly prod at the feed provider to get them to fix their mistakes). -- David Dorward <http://blog.dorward.me.uk/> <http://dorward.me.uk/> Home is where the ~/.bashrc is -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
