Cannot change encoding at a XML with php

[mikek12004]

I have an xml written in a file. I want in the 1st line
<code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-88-59-7"?>
</code>
to change the encoding to utf-8 any easy way to do that?

[Dormilich]

code tag is [code] not <code> or use the button with the "#" symbol

the solution depends on which language you want to use for that (possibilities: any (server) scripting lanuage (C, Java, PHP, ASP, Perl,...), even XSLT)

Cannot change encoding at a XML with php

I have this XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-7"?>
<asx version="3.0" >
<title>General Music ASX playlist</title>
<moreinfo href="http://www.generalmusic.com"/>

<entry>
<title>8.07409|1.00922|ΚΡΑΤΗΣΕ ΜΕ ΣΤΟ ΡΥΘΜΟ|9.00402||8.00|</title>
<ref href="UserFiles/songs/03/8.07409.mp3" />
<param name="image" value="UserFiles/Image/1.00922.jpg" />
</entry>
<entry>
<title>8.07410|1.00922|ΚΡΑΤΗΣΕ ΜΕ ΣΤΟ ΡΥΘΜΟ|9.00402||8.00|</title>
<ref href="UserFiles/songs/03/8.07410.mp3" />
<param name="image" value="UserFiles/Image/1.00922.jpg" />
</entry>
</asx>

and I want to change the encoding to utf-8 when I download it and by hand change the encoding,save it and upload it all is good.
I created a php script to automate the process which is here

$id=$_SESSION['id'];

	$file = fopen("../player/".$id.".xml","r");
	$msg=fread($file,filesize("../player/".$id.".xml"));
	fclose($file);
	
	//$msg=str_replace("iso-8859-7","utf-8",$msg);
	$file = fopen("../player/".$id.".xml","w");
	fwrite($file,$msg);
	fclose($file);

but then all the greeks in the xml (those in the title tag) gets destroyed any help on how can I do that?

I think you have to actually encode the content to utf-8. use utf8_encode().

OK found it before writing to the file I used iconv to change the string to utf-8
Thanks for your time!
