    Hi every one
    i am working with cisco ipPhone that can get some xml code and execute them. it is like a cell phone. however this is my code :
    
<? 
 header("Content-type: text/xml"); 
 header("charset: UTF-8"); 
 header("Connection: close"); 
 header("Expires: -1"); 

 print("<CiscoIPPhoneDirectory>\n"); //cisco ipp tag
 print("\t<Title>Lunch Time Essentials</Title>\n"); 
 print("\t<Prompt>Who will deliver food today?</Prompt>\n"); 
 // .... other codes
print("</CiscoIPPhoneDirectory>\n"); 
?>
    PHP:
    but i need to display menu and content in
    farsi language(not english) and
    when i change content of <title> and <prompt>
    into farsi, the phone shows the whole of xml code(tags)
    and replace farsi content with ??? .
    what do you suggest ?
    NOTE : because you don't have cisco ipPhone your system can't compile
    content of ciscoIPPhoneDirectory tags.
    thank you in advance

    Are you sure the phone is capable of displaying Farsi?

    If it can, then UTF-8 should be correct. Are you using UTF-8 encoding for your Farsi? Make sure your text editor is set to save your file as UTF-8 with no BOM. If it doesn't let you do this, then you need a new text editor. BBEdit for the Mac will do it, I am sure there is something out in Windows land that can as well.

    Also, your headers are incorrect. Content-Type and charset go on the same line. 

    Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8
