[FX.php List] Raw encoding

[Bob Patin]

You might also want to use

html_entity_decode()

if you get some strange characters in place of apostrophes...

PHP.net is (IMHO) the Holy Grail of sources for all things PHP... not  
that it hasn't prevented my wasting countless hours on silly  
errors... :)
