hoi dit is mijn eerste post hier op minatica en ik hoop dat jullie me kunnen helpen.
Ik heb adres gegevens in een databank. deze gegevens worden omgevormd naar gps coordinaten.
Nu het probleem is dat speciale tekens (bv. é à è ^ ù µ ^) niet kunnen worden ingelezen.
De parsing error die ik krijg gaat als volgt:

parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
wat ik reeds geprobeerd heb is

utf8_encode($address);[/ PHP]
en een function die de karakters omzet naar htmlcode bv
[PHP]$xmlStr=str_replace("ß",'ß',$xmlStr);

ik hoop dat jullie me kunnen helpen.
de code die de bestanden in een xmlsheet plaatst


<?php

require("log.php");

Je kan eens

ISO-8859-1

i.p.v. UTF-8 Proberen, deze bevat de meeste tekens, denk ik?
