This issue is a major PITA when generating RSS with PHP as well. htmlentities() uses the old html entity table not any of the new-fangled XML entity tables. And underlying this is a whole rant about the sense or nonsense of encoding the payload into XML in order to use an XML envelope and distribution protocol, whether it's RSS, XMLRPC or SOAP (or REST, heh!). If you do write an xmlentities() function do please release it and tell us all. It would come in handy in lots of situations. -- Julian Bond Email&MSM: [email protected] Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 T: +44 (0)192 0412 433
