From: sudhir patil on 5 Apr 2010 10:09 I have csv file with special characters, stored in default encoding(ISO-8859-1). I am convert file contents(string) to UTF-8using iconv. This doesn't convert special characters properly, shows broken on fronted. Page encoding & meta tag are properly set to utf-8. Characters are shown properly on frontend if i save file encoding as utf-8(Using notepad). But iconv doesn't convert characters properly to UTF-8. $value = iconv("Latin1","utf-8", $value); having problem with below mentioned character â ’ ’ right single quotation mark Any idea or suggestions to fix this would be helpful.

From: sudhir patil on 5 Apr 2010 11:08 Thanks Nathan, i tried with utf8_encode, that doesn't help. Yes both content-type & metatag are set to utf-8. When i try utf-8 converted csv everything shows up properly. Issue is when i try to change encoding in php, special characters are messed up. Character that i am facing problem with is â ’ ’ right single quotation mark Thanks, Sudhir ----- Original Message ---- From: Nathan Rixham <nrixham(a)gmail.com> To: sudhir patil <sudhirpatil1(a)yahoo.co.in> Cc: php-general(a)lists.php.net Sent: Mon, 5 April, 2010 8:19:54 PM Subject: Re: problems with utf-8 conversion sudhir patil wrote: > I have csv file with special characters, stored in default encoding(ISO-8859-1).
