I’m pulling an XML feed that doesn’t specify the encoding. I can’t change this on the feed.
When I use htmlentities(), it gives me a proper output for certain characters on my WAMP server, but when I upload it to another server, it seems like the encoding is incorrect for certain characters, like open and close double quotes (not just ” but the one that looks like 66 and 99)

    Someone else’s server may have different encoding. You can specify the encoding to be compatible with someone else’s server.

    Like htmlspecialchars(), htmlentities() takes an optional third argument encoding which defines encoding used in conversion. If omitted, the default value for this argument is ISO-8859-1 in versions of PHP prior to 5.4.0, and UTF-8 from PHP 5.4.0 onwards.

    See the documentation
