If you're using the correct character set all the way through, you only
need to do htmlspecialchars() to convert things like & and <, as
all the other characters should already be present in the character set
you are using (UTF-8). htmlentities() is mostly used for converting
characters outside of your character set into entities.

header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8');

Shouldn't be any need. Characters like è don't have any special meaning
in XML, and they can be represented in the UTF-8 character set, so
there's no need to convert them to entities at any stage.

Hi there!

I want to get conents of a file and split into a array...

    $s = file_get_contents($fileName);
    $splitS = preg_split("/\n/",$s);

Is this equal to using $splitS = file($fileName) ?

yes, it is equal, but i'd rather use file() function

I know I know I know. I don't like test message either but since I
started the upgrade I haven't received any new PHP mailings. Could be
just because of low traffic, but I need to make sure.
