Re: Unicode problem

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

The XML parser assumes that the XML document is encoded as ISO-8859-1 
unless you specify an encoding in the XML processing directive such as
<?xml encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Since your data is clearly not iso-8859-1 (but the parser thinks it is!) 
the data is being misinterpreted.

You can override the encoding attribute by specifying a CCSID in the 2nd 
parameter to http_parse_xml_stmf().   I would guess that your data is 
UTF-16, which is CCSID 1200.  So try specifying 1200 in the 2nd 
parameter of http_parse_xml_stmf().
