Re: [PHP-XML-DEV] generating xml with chars like (õäöü)

Hi

if you are inserting text with for example createTextNode(), then the 
input has to be UTF-8. Always. You have to transform that in PHP before 
you insert the code

(loading xml documents from files or strings with $dom->load() and 
$dom->loadXML() does not have this limitation, there it's the encoding 
attribute, which counts)

This is for both PHP 4 and PHP 5.

Furthermore, this is a list for developing the xml support in PHP, not 
for developing _with_ XML in PHP... php-general is maybe the more 
appropriate place for such questions.
