Unable to parse XML in UTF-8 encoding

[Anon]

Hi All,

I am not able to parse an XML which is in UTF-8 encoding. I get XML_ERROR_SYNTAX or XML_ERROR_INVALID_TOKEN error.

This is my code :

$f_Handle = fopen ( $file, "rb" ) ;
$buffer = fread ( $f_Handle, filesize ( $file ) ) ;
fclose ( $f_Handle ) ;
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create ( "UTF-8" ) ;
xml_set_element_handler ( $xml_parser , "start_tag", "close_tag" ); 

xml_parse ( $xml_parser, $buffer ) ;

If my file is ascii encoded, this code works just fine. Please help.

Thanx in advance.
