    Xpath encoding problem


    Hi,

    I have the following code:

    $d = xpath->query($myxpath );
    $text = $d->item(0)->nodeValue;
    print $text;

    While this code is working well with English characters, non-English
    characters (Hebrew, German, Russian) are not encoded properly and the
    output is unreadable gibberish.

    I know PHP XML DOM is Unicode, but even iconv or other functions
    unable to display those characters as they should.

      Hi Rik and thanks for your quick help,

      I did test your code and it is working, except one site.
      The encoding on that site is the same like other sites (with correct
      output encoding):

      <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">

      another different it has DTD of HTML 4 Transitional (others are XHTML
      or missing DTD).

      Any ideas?

          Don't rely on META tags. What are the actual headers?
          another different it has DTD of HTML 4 Transitional (others are XHTML
          or missing DTD).
          Should not be a problem.

              After debugging and comparing files, I found that if I insert

              <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">

              Before any other tags in <headthe encoding is OK, if not i got
              gibberish.

                  Doing a header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); should take care
                  of that...

                      I meant adding that to html data grabbed from web site, not to my
                      page.
