DomDocument and html entities

Question

I\'m trying to parse some HTML that includes some HTML entities, like ×

$str = \' A × B\';

$do         


        

Answer 1

This is no direct answer to the question, but you may use UTF-8 instead, which allows you to save glyphs like ÷ or × directly. To use UTF-8 with PHP DOM on the other needs a little hack.

Also, if you are trying to display mathematical formulas (as A × B suggests) have a look at MathML.
