Hi. My CMS' mysql db collation is in latin1. I have a news module, that has an optional RSS2.0 file. Partial example of rss.php: header('Content-type: application/xml; charset="UTF-8"',true); echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'; echo "\n"; echo '<rss version="2.0">'; echo "\n"; echo '<channel>'; echo "\n"; echo '<title>'.get_option('title').'</title>'; echo "\n"; echo '<link>'.URL.'</link>'; echo "\n"; echo '<description>'.get_option('description').'</description>'; ... The problem is that some data in "description" contains some of this characters: áéíóú, and they all get converted to a '?'. How can I avoid this problem and still show the appropiate character in the rss output?
