Hello, firs of all, thank you very much for this great scrit: I installed in in my website and it is working just out of the box. I am just having a problem with the charset: both he webspage where the code is embed and the RSS I am importing have the charset set to iso-8859-1. Still, for some reason, when I import the RSS, the text (which is in Portuguese) does not display correcly. Fo example: Índios isolados localizados perto de obras de hidrelétricas appears Índios isolados localizados perto de obras de hidrelétricas When I change the charset to display UTF-8, the RSS displays correctly, but the rest of the content doesn't. I am guessing that the script is converting the RSS to UTF 8, and I don't know how to change that. Any advice would be welcomed. Thank you in advance. Dani

I have webpage encoding utf-8 format, I don't want to change the encoding format. I want to know how to parse a php encoding in widows 1250 so that it is visible rss's encoded data in widows 1250 into my webpage.

Hello, The documents are loaded with the format specified in the charset of the original page. For exemple, is the RSS has this declaration

<?xml version="1.0"?>

It gets a default encoding. The encoding may be specified:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1">

How to translate the charset to that of the page? It the encoding is specified in the constructor:

$doc= new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');

The charset will be overloaded by that of the loaded file. But the encoding may be changed at string level, for example:

$content = mb_convert_encoding($content, "ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8");

To convert from ISO to UTF. Conversions must be achieved in the RSS_Tags() function

$y["title"] = mb_convert_encoding($title, "ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8");
$y["description"] = mb_convert_encoding($description, "ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8");

Hello, good evening. Thank you so much for the reply. I managed to solve the problem, but got a little confused first. Because both the RSS and the page had the same stated encoding and even then the RSS import was not working. I only managed to make it work when I actually re-encoded it to UTF-8 at the string level. I don't know why this happen though.
