RSS problem in IE but ok with FF ?

[Kentor]

if you look at http://www.rent-index.com/rss.php with FF, there are no
errors and it opens fine, but with IE i get line: 0 char: 0 error: an
invalid character was found in text content. Code: 0

but if you save the file in FF and open it from your computer with IE,
it works fine...

Unfortunately Mozilla's XML parser is known not to find encoding
problems. If I use an XML parser (from .NET) to parse that file then it
finds an encoding error at
"Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 233, position 1."

Decide what encoding you want to use for the XML document (e.g. UTF-8),
then make sure you output characters in that encoding, with PHP you can
use mbstring or iconv extensions I think. And put the encoding in the
XML declaration.
Of course if you have data in a db then you need to be aware of encoding
issues with the db. That depends on the DB, with MySQL 4.1 and later you
have UTF-8 support I think.
