html_entity_decode() and htmlspecialchars() for XML

lawrence

Using the conversion to char sets described for these functions, is it
possible to get a whole string into some charset? I'm trying to figure
out a way to take invalid character sets from idiot users, and
translate the string so that in the end I have a string that won't
cause my XML to test invalid.
