Question

Answer 1

A:

I have not tried, but the second parameter of DOMDocument::__construct seems to be related to the encoding ; maybe that'll help you :-)

Else, there is an encoding property in DOMDocument, which is writable.

The DOMXpath beeing constructed with the DOMDocument as parameter, maybe it'll work...

`$dom->encoding = 'utf8'` had no effect, nor did setting the encoding in `__construct()`. Possibly due to using `loadHTML()`, but I don't know.

Answer 2

+1 A:

If it is a fully fledged valid xhtml document you shouldn't use loadhtml() but load()/loadxml().

Given the example xhtml document

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt;
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <head>
     <title>xhtml test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
     <h1>A Table</h1>
     <table>
      <tr><th>A</th><th>O</th><th>U</th></tr>
      <tr><td>Ä</td><td>Ö</td><td>Ü</td></tr>
      <tr><td>ä</td><td>ö</td><td>ü</td></tr>
     </table>
    </body>
</html>

the script

<?php
$raw2 = 'test.html';

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->load($raw2);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
var_dump($xpath->registerNamespace('h', 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'));
$query = '//h:td/text()';
$nodes = $xpath->query($query);
foreach($nodes as $node) {
    foo($node->wholeText);
}


function foo($s) {
    for($i=0; $i<strlen($s); $i++) {
     printf('%02X ', ord($s[$i]));
    }
    echo "\n";
}

prints

bool(true)
C3 84 
C3 96 
C3 9C 
C3 A4 
C3 B6 
C3 BC

i.e. the output/strings are utf-8 encoded

The page I'm parsing didn't have <?xml ?>. Used Tidy to add that and my problem is solved.

Answer 3

A:

Struggled with similar problem (unable to force Xpath to use UTF-8 in combination with loadHTML), in the end this excellent article provided the solution: http://devzone.zend.com/article/8855

workaround:

Insert an additional section with the appropriate Content-type HTTP-EQUIV meta tag immediately following the opening tag.

Answer 4

A:

I had the same problem and I couldn't use tidy in my webserver. I found this solution and it worked fine:

$dom = new DomDocument();
$html = mb_convert_encoding($html, 'HTML-ENTITIES', "UTF-8");
$dom->loadHTML($html);
