PHP DOM DOCUMENT cannot load file -

all,

i trying load xml file dom, fails due following reason:

1. presence of registered trademark ® (r circle) in file.

basically, if shows trademark sign (r circle) dom fails load file.

the error displayed are:

encoder errorcdata section not finished  premature end of data in tag elm line 12 

when check encoding of file ascii. if physically remove character file, works fine.

i loading file using following code:

$xml_dom = new domdocument(); $xml_dom->preservewhitespace = false; $result = $xml_dom->load($file); 

$result = '' (empty) when fails. when remove trademark character , works, $result = 1

is there way ask dom ignore character? character supposed show if encoding ascii?. file not generated me, changing encoding @ point not option.... thank you!

try method:

$pagedom = new domdocument();     $searchpage = mb_convert_encoding($htmlutf8page, 'html-entities', "utf-8");  @$pagedom->loadhtml($htmlutf8page);
