Preparing a html string for rss

Anyone have/know of a function that will clean a html string of all
tags and invalid characters, ready for an RSS feed in iso-8859-1
encoding?

I'm using strip_tags at present but it's not catching things like euro
signs which is stopping my feed from validating.

Thanks,
Ciar=E1n

Try mb_convert_encode to convert to US-ASCII
