Hi!
I have a php code that reads xml file. In xml file I have the german letter ö (this xml file is saved as UTF). This is mistake. I don't get ö. I get some strange carachters (like ö). Can somebody help me? Thanks a lot!

Jump to PostYou'll have to change the charset somewhere, perhaps iso-8859-1 instead of utf-8, or the other way around. What could help is just change the charset of the page in your browser, and look for which charset you get the ö.
Jump to PostNope, that's an entity. You'll need to change the charset of the page. For example, the following in <head/> would set utf-8:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Charset of ö is & # 246. What then? (I tried to add & # 246 instead of ö in xml file, but it didn't work)
