php convert - to whatever it needs to be to display correctly

unwashed potato! · 27 Mar 2011 at 00:35

not sure on the keywords i'm looking for on this so googling is failing me though i'm sure it's very simple.

title for wordpress article is "hi there - how are you"

i use a php file to read the rss for the blog and show the title and link to it on a seperate site.

what i'm getting is "hi there â€“ how are you"

what do i need to do?

Try using

& # 4 5 ; (without the spaces) instead of -

It's the html code to display -

Try setting a charset in your HTML like this:

Code:

<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>

php convert - to whatever it needs to be to display correctly
