Transforming XML with PHP

[Anon]

well here it is..

method=text
output encoding=utf-8
input encoding=utf-8

i have an xml file that is transformed with PHP that creates an html file with the data in my xml..

i can't seem to get it to recognise the 'cent' sign.. (as in dollars and cents)..

&#162(semicolon) gives me an extra character along with the cent sign.. (and no, i'm not actually typing the word semicolon in the xml 🙂

also, the text method puts an additional / in my html tags.. (<br/>, <hr/> etc)..

the resulting html file displays ok on a PC (save the extra character with the cent sign) but it doesn't display at all on a Mac..

does anyone know why this happens and how i can get around this problem?

disable output escaping? xsl:copy-of?

changing the method to html doesn't help either..

thanks...
