<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

// If the XML file specifies the encoding in the XML declaration, such as:
// <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-16" standalone = "no" ?>
// Then it's simply a matter of calling LoadXmlFile.
// Chilkat will automatically read the XML declaration and will
// process the file correctly.   For example:

$xml = new CkXml();
$success = $xml->LoadXmlFile('qa_data/xml/sample_ucs2.xml');

// If, however, there is no XML declaration to indicate the character encoding,
// then you must explicitly read the file according to what you know
// is the correct encoding.  For example:
$sb = new CkStringBuilder();
$success = $sb->LoadFile('qa_data/xml/sample_ucs2.xml','utf-16');
// Assuming success...
$success = $xml->LoadSb($sb,true);

// To convert to the XML from utf-16 to utf-8, do the following:
$xml->put_Encoding('utf-8');
print $xml->getXml() . "\n";
$success = $xml->SaveXml('qa_output/sample_utf8.xml');
