Question

If I have

<p id='test'>TEST&trade;</p>

and I use

document.getElementById('test').innerHTML;

to pass the HTML to a php function where it extract all of the text nodes using DOMDocument and XPath.

When the PHP gets the content the ™ gets converted to ™. I run it through XPath and the text node comes back as:

TESTâ„ ¢

I am not sure what is going wrong, or if there is a way fix it, either on the javascript side so it passes the ™ rather then ™.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Your value that your variable is being passed with the TM character, not with ™, running through htmlentities() in PHP should take care of it.
