Encoding problem

[Rutger Claes]

I have a dom tree representing the content of a html document. In the xml I
use € as the euro sign. I think I need to do this to be able to use
xsl transformations. After the xsl transformation I use a small SAX
parser. But my € gets converted to: â,¬50.
I've tried passing xml_parser_create() 'UTF-8' and '' (hint from php.net)
but it only makes things worse ( ? or squares are displayed ).
How do i have to encode characters to be able to pass them to SAX. Is there
a build in function or do I use str_replace()?

Why not just use € ?

That is not one of the 5 default character entities in XML. It's only
valid when defined in a DTD.

No direct answer to the OPs question, but if the encoding of the XML is
either iso-8859-15 or UTF-x there is no need to encode the EUR symbol.

It's not really important what encoding I will use.**It's*just*that*if*I
don't use &#x20AC; I get errors from my XSL transformation.
I just need a way to get through XSL and then through SAX.**If*I*can*use*the
same symbol, great.**If*I*have*to*do*a*str_replace*then*I*just* need*to*know
from &#x20AC; to what...

Can I use a <?xml encoding="" ?> or something in my XSL transformation so
that I can use another symbol then &#x20AC; that is also usable in SAX.

*Thanks*for*the*answers,*sorry*for*the*english
