Thanks. > The Sansa Clip+ MP3 player gives you more to enjoy. Enjoy up to 2,000 songs††with an 8GB* player, FM radio, long-life battery and voice recorder. PLUS now even more! Expand your enjoyment when you add in preloaded content cards** into the new memory card slot, including slotRadioâ„¢ and slotMusicâ„¢ cards**. Or, save your own music, podcasts, and audio books onto a microSDâ„¢/microSDHCâ„¢ memory card** to expand your play.It’s brought to you by SanDisk with awesome sound to enjoy your music. Just clip it on and enjoy more music with an incredible 15 hours†battery-fueled fun. See what you’re listening to with the bright, easy-to-read screen and intuitively searchable menus. Color your world in red, blue or sleek black undertones. NOTE: I tried preinheimer's suggestion, First I tested it with a text file which worked well. $content = file_get_contents("test.txt"); echo htmlentities($content); But when I tried the same thing dynamically it didn't work and left the text just the same. $content = $responseTemp->Items->Item->EditorialReviews->EditorialReview[$j]->Content; echo htmlentities($content); They both contain the same text but for some reason the dynamically version doesn't work. ANOTHER UPDATE: I tried Juan's suggestion which is a slight improvement but still doesn't reproduce correctly, replacing many charecters with a question mark. Here's what it gives me, > The Sansa Clip+ MP3 player gives you > more to enjoy. Enjoy up to 2,000 > songs?? with an 8GB* player, FM radio, > long-life battery and voice recorder. > PLUS now even more! Expand your > enjoyment when you add in preloaded > content cards** into the new memory > card slot, including slotRadio? and > slotMusic? cards**.

FINAL UPDATE: Aha, my mistake, I replaced $myOutputEncoding with 'utf-8' on Juan's example and add the following in the head tags to get it working,
the page php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php has some good examples, but I don't have the time right now to try them and figure out which is the best way.
