I have a client that is hosting his site on my Ubuntu Linux Server. He has some files that he generates from Microsoft Excel as .htm files. I have set Apache to parse .htm files with the PHP engine but we still have a problem with the way the content displays, see attached image.
I think it is the xml that microsoft generates from Excel but any help would be appreciated. The list of installed PHP packages is here, http://linux1.jbknowledge.com/phpinfo.php
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You might want to post a fragment of the code that is not displaying correctly (the xml or xhtml output).

Well, I would think the problem is the Office-specific content and tags in the file. You might take a look at this filter:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=EN
from Microsoft that supposedly removes that content. I'm not sure it will fix everything but perhaps it's a start. I'm not surprised that Apache running on a Linux box would balk at Excel mso content, but I don't have direct experience with that.

It turns out it was the way apache2 was handling the charset. I followed the instructions in this article and it worked.
