encoding

[btfans]

Hi,

I need to convert a text file encoded big5 to utf-8...
Can anyone show me how to do in php?

Any php function to do ?
What is the requirement of iconv and mb_* ?

My php is only 4.2.2 from redhat9.

Thanks.

Try the following, I don't know if it will work, you might not need the last header, or the other way around.

//place this at the start of the php file.
header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8n" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bitn");
