Let WordPress RSS Function Support Mutil Charset

WordPress 1.5 Above support rss fetch like dashboard wordpress news.But it is’nt support mutil charset like gb2312,big5,shift js etc……Because wordpress use magpierss 0.51 core ,that didnt support mutil charset;
But MagpieRSS version 0.72 support mutil charset now,why wordpress 2.0 RC use old version 0.51 however?

you can replace rss-functions.php line 48:
$parser = @xml_parser_create();
to:
//——————-Instaniate an XML parser under PHP4——————————–//

if (preg_match(‘/<?xml.*encoding=[\'”](.*?)[\'”].*?>/m’, $source, $m)) {
$encoding = strtoupper($m[1]);
} else {
$encoding = “UTF-8”;
}

if($encoding == “UTF-8” || $encoding == “US-ASCII” || $encoding == “ISO-8859-1”) {
$parser = xml_parser_create($encoding);
} else {

if(function_exists(‘mb_convert_encoding’)) {
$encoded_source = @mb_convert_encoding($source, “UTF-8”, $encoding);
}

if(function_exists(‘iconv’)) {
$encoded_source = @iconv($encoding, “UTF-8”, $source);
}

if($encoded_source != NULL) {
$source = str_replace ( $m[0],'<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>’, $encoded_source);
}

$parser = xml_parser_create(“UTF-8”);
}

xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING, “UTF-8”);
