DomDocument and special characters

Question

This is my code:

$oDom = new DOMDocument();
$oDom->loadHTML(\"èàéìòù\");
echo $oDom->saveHTML();

This is the output:

Answer 1

Solution:

$oDom = new DOMDocument();
$oDom->encoding = 'utf-8';
$oDom->loadHTML( utf8_decode( $sString ) ); // important!

$sHtml = '';
$sHtml .= $oDom->saveHTML( $oDom->documentElement ); // important!

The saveHTML() method works differently specifying a node. You can use the main node ($oDom->documentElement) adding the desired !DOCTYPE manually. Another important thing is utf8_decode(). All the attributes and the other methods of the DOMDocument class, in my case, don't produce the desired result.
