    copied!<p>I'm having some difficult with PHP DOM class.</p> <p>I am making a sitemap script, and I need the output of $doc->saveXML() to be like</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;root&gt; &lt;url&gt; &lt;loc&gt;http://www.somesite.com/servi&amp;#xE7;os/redesign&lt;/loc&gt; &lt;/url&gt; &lt;/root&gt; </code></pre> <p>or</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;root&gt; &lt;url&gt; &lt;loc&gt;http://www.somesite.com/servi&amp;#231;os/redesign&lt;/loc&gt; &lt;/url&gt; &lt;/root&gt; </code></pre> <p>but I am getting:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;root&gt; &lt;url&gt; &lt;loc&gt;http://www.somesite.com/servi&amp;amp;#xE7;os/redesign&lt;/loc&gt; &lt;/url&gt; &lt;/root&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is the closet I could get, using a replace named to numbered entities function.</p> <p>I was also able to reproduce</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" ?&gt; &lt;root&gt; &lt;url&gt; &lt;loc&gt;http://www.somesite.com/servi&amp;amp;#xE7;os/redesign&lt;/loc&gt; &lt;/url&gt; &lt;/root&gt; </code></pre> <p>But without the encoding specified.</p> <p>The best solution (the way I think the code should be written) would be:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $myArray = array(); // do some stuff to populate the with URL strings $doc = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8'); // here we modify some property. Maybe is the answer I am looking for... $urlset = doc-&gt;createElement("urlset"); $urlset = $doc-&gt;appendChild($urlset); foreach($myArray as $address) { $url = $doc-&gt;createElement("url"); $url = $urlset-&gt;appendChild($url); $loc = $doc-&gt;createElement("loc"); $loc = $url-&gt;appendChild($loc); $valueContent = $doc-&gt;createTextNode($value); $valueContent = $loc-&gt;appendChild($address); } echo $doc-&gt;saveXML(); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Notes:</p> <ul> <li>Server response header contains charset as UTF-8;</li> <li>PHP script is saved in UTF-8;</li> <li>URLs read are UTF-8 strings;</li> <li>Above script contains encoding declaration on DOMDocument constructor, and does not use any convert functions, like htmlentities, urlencode, utf8_encode...</li> </ul> <p>I've tried changing the DOMDocument properties <em>DOMDocument::$resolveExternals</em> and <em>DOMDocument::$substituteEntities</em> values. None combinations worked.</p> <p>And yes, I know I can made all process without specifying the character set on DOMDocument constructor, dump string content into a variable and make a very simple string substitution with string replace functions. This works. But I would like to know where I am slipping, how can this be made using native API's and settings, or even if this is possible.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
