php problem with russian language

Question

i get page in utf-8 with russian language using curl. if i echo text it show good. then i use such code

$dom = new domDocument; 

        /*** load the html          


        

Answer 1

I suggest use mb_convert_encoding before load UTF-8 page.

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

OR else you could try this

    $dom = new DomDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
    @$dom->loadHTML($html);
    $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
    ..........
    echo html_entity_decode($cols->item(2)->nodeValue,ENT_QUOTES,"UTF-8");
    ..........
