file_get_contents() Breaks Up UTF-8 Characters
I had similar problem with polish language
I tried:
$fileEndEnd = mb_convert_encoding($fileEndEnd, 'UTF-8', mb_detect_encoding($fileEndEnd, 'UTF-8', true));I tried:
$fileEndEnd = utf8_encode ( $fileEndEnd );I tried:
$fileEndEnd = iconv( "UTF-8", "UTF-8", $fileEndEnd );And then -
$fileEndEnd = mb_convert_encoding($fileEndEnd, 'HTML-ENTITIES', "UTF-8");This last worked perfectly !!!!!!
Solution suggested in the comments of the PHP manual entry for file_get_contents
function file_get_contents_utf8($fn) { $content = file_get_contents($fn); return mb_convert_encoding($content, 'UTF-8', mb_detect_encoding($content, 'UTF-8, ISO-8859-1', true));}You might also try your luck with http://php.net/manual/en/function.mb-internal-encoding.php
Alright. I have found out the file_get_contents() is not causing this problem. There's a different reason which I talk about in another question. Silly me.
See this question: Why Does DOM Change Encoding?
