    <p>I am trying to read an XML file and then input the obtained value into a database. Then entire process works great , as long as there are no special characters in the XML. the XML is formatted as :</p> <pre><code>&lt;link&gt; &lt;name&gt;Cech&lt;/name&gt; &lt;club&gt;Chelsea&lt;/club&gt; &lt;/link&gt; </code></pre> <p>In case the <code>name</code> tag encloses a name like <code>Suárez</code>, i get the error: <code>Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding ! Bytes: 0xE1 0x72 0x65 0x7A in file:///C:/wamp/www/ADB/links.xml, line: 1857 in C:\wamp\www\ADB\phptry.php on line 14</code> , where line 1857 has the name <code>Suárez</code> . i tried including the <code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; </code> at the beginning of the file and using the <code>utf8_encode(file_get_contents('links.xml'))</code> but it doesnt work. Any suggestions? this is my working php code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $dbhost = 'localhost'; $dbuser = 'root'; $dbpass = ''; $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass); if(! $conn ) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } $objDOM = new DOMDocument(); //$content = utf8_encode(file_get_contents('links.xml')); $objDOM-&gt;load('links.xml'); //make sure path is correct $note = $objDOM-&gt;getElementsByTagName("link"); // for each note tag, parse the document and get values for // tasks and details tag. foreach( $note as $value ) { $player = $value-&gt;getElementsByTagName("name"); $player_name = $player-&gt;item(0)-&gt;nodeValue; $playername = addslashes($player_name); $club = $value-&gt;getElementsByTagName("club"); $club_name = $club-&gt;item(0)-&gt;nodeValue; // $points = $value-&gt;getElementsByTagName("points"); // $point_value = $points-&gt;item(0)-&gt;nodeValue; $sql = "INSERT INTO pilayers (name,club) VALUES('$playername','$club_name')"; mysql_select_db('players'); $retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn ); if(! $retval ) { die('Could not enter data: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "Entered data successfully\n"; } mysql_close($conn); ?&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COas the error tip, it means that the file "links.xml" should be encoded as "utf-8" format. you'd better checking the file format and saving as "utf-8", rather than utf8_encode.

    2. COi do have the `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ` included at the very beginning of the XML file.

    3. COeven more, <?xml version="1.0” encoding="utf-8"?> just indicates that the file should be parse by utf-8 format. however, the "link.xml" maybe saved as other encoding format which is not utf8.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
