I've had a look at the RSS feed and it is set to utf-8, both in the xml declaration and the http headers. I have to assume the broken characters are because of something in your script. Are you sure your PHP is saved into a utf-8 format? Thanks, Ash -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
