XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

Hello,
i have created a XMl page from an excel sheet in which the data has german words
in parsing the xml using php the german words arent spelt properly
eg
Düsseldorf, Zakk
come out like
Düsseldorf, Zakk
how do you guys handle this....i think its an error of the document encoding type but i am not sure what to do...

you need a charset that contains the character
for xml that might be
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<root>
Düsseldorf, Zakk
</root>
for the html-ouput there are numerous ways to set the charset.
e.g.
Code: Select all
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
or xml-conform in the prolog as well
