i'm encoding a result from my db using the utf8_encode() function but i need the unicode equiv' as the output is fputs'd and can contain special chars like € and foreign chars.

i need this as feedvalidator.org keeps telling me there's chars it doesn't like.

my output is xml and has "ISO-8859-2" encoding but the validator suggests using windows-1252.

all this is a bit beyond me to be honest, anyone able to clarify for me??

thanks

;p

nobody?

I'd recommend you take a look at the good ol' htmlspecialchars() function in PHP...
