DOM : special chars (entities) in attributes

Hi,
I currently use the DOM from PHP5 to create XHTML documents.
I have a problem with entities. I would like to create a node :
<input id="place" value="café rouge">
To do that I simply create the node with createElement, and then :
$node -> setAttribute ("value", $val);
If I set $val = "café rouge", the saveXML causes PHP to fail with an
error message. The accentuated character seems to be a problem.
If I set $val = "caf&eacute ; rouge", saveXML automatically replaces
the & with &amp; and that's not what I expect either.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Perhaps the same as:

i.e. you need to utf8 encode before passing to the DOM functions.

Hello, I was wondering if there are a few good pages and/or examples on how to process form data correctly for putting it in a MySQL DB. Since I'm not used to using PHP a lot, I already found out that addslashes() can be used escape some characters, but I'm having some more problems with for instance ä, å and µ (since the text is scientifical) Now some people also throw in htmlspecialchars() to convert those to HTML entities, but some...

I am using DOM to create an rss feed. The problem I am running into is "special characters" such as é è ç. If I try adding them to the XML as character data (CData), DOM chokes and throws out errors. If I do a search and replace on the characters changing them to HTML entities instead of using CDATA, DOM chokes up again. If I do a combination of both (search and replace then add as Character Data) it does not choke, but the RSS...
