When i output the text £3.99 per M² from an xml file,browser displays it as £3.99 per M².XML file is in UTF-8 format.I wonder how to fix this.
Make sure you're outputting UTF-8. That conversion sounds like your source is UTF-8, yet you're telling the browser to expect something else (Latin1?). You should send a header indicating to the browser UTF-8 is coming up, and you should have the correct meta header:
<?php
header ('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
?>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<?php echo "£3.99 per M²"; ?>
</body>
</html>
This should work correctly.
You should encode html entities:
you could try
htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8");
Look here for a complete reference
If you still have problems sometimes you also have to decode the string with utf8_decode() so you can try:
$str = utf8_decode($str);
$str = htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
