A place comes up in geonames.org main search, but not on xml webservice

Hi, I have a weird problem with a specific place: "Maharepa" from the "French Polynesia" shows up in the main search: http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=maharepa&country= But not on the XML Webservice: http://ws.geonames.org/search?q=maharepa&maxRows=30&style=FULL&country= Can anyone explain me this? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi, I'm having problems with the ' character (single quote)... The URL I'm getting is http://ws.geonames.org/search?name_equals=Bassin%20d%27Arcachon&country=FR&maxRows=30&style=FULL&lang=fr The GeoName is Bassin d'Arcachon, I'm using php like this: Code:

$xml = simplexml_load_file("http://ws.geonames.org/search?name_equals=".rawurlencode(utf8_encode(stripslashes($loc)))."&country=$cp&maxRows=30&style=FULL&lang=fr");

where $loc is utf8-decoded and rawurldecoded already. Does any of you have this problem? This is the location: http://www.geonames.org/3037252/bassin-d-arcachon.html
