marc-8/utf-8

[rcvanni]

I am trying to convert character encoding using mb_convert_encoding(). However, the MARC-8 is not a supported encoding (mb_list_encodings()). Could any one help me to resolve this?

regards,

I can't remember, but won't htmlentities() do the trick?

using ...

$data = htmlentities($data, ENT_COMPAT, mb_detect_encoding($data));

i get the error ....

Warning: htmlentities(): charset ASCII' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in ...
Warning: htmlentities(): charsetASCII' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in ...
Warning: htmlentities(): charset `ASCII' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in ...

However, if i use the 'ASCII' parameter in mb_convert_encoding function ...

$data = mb_convert_encoding($data, "UTF-8", "ASCII");

the data is not correctly converted....
