    Hi guys,

    I'm having a serious issue here and I don't know how to fix it.
    I narrowed it down quite a bit and it comes to the following:

    I have a html entitity (using a space between & and uuml; as I can't get it display properly ):
    [code]
    & uuml; => ü
    [/code]

    And I wanna write that to the document, the following options I tried (and failed)



    [code]
    $docx->addText(html_enties_decode('& uuml;'); // fails
    $docx->addText(utf8_encode('& uuml;'); // fails
    [/code]

    When however I do the folllowing:
    [code]
    echo utf8_encode('& uuml;');
    // Copy & paste the result from my browser into the following code:
    $docx->addText('ü');
    [/code]

    It works,...

    What is going on, what am I doing wrong?
