wrong encoding from file()

dimc

Hi guys,

I have a problem I reallt can´t solve, check the simple code below:


$html = implode('',file('http://www.site.com/pt/sdsds/));

echo $html;

the text is in the wrong encode. how do I ask the webserver do send the right encode (iso-8859-1) ?

file() will fetch the file in the same encoding that the file was in in the first place.

If this was the wrong one, then you need to fix the file.

PHP is not aware of encodings and won't automatically convert things.

the web site from where i´m trying to get the content is using a CMS and I believe CMS systems ask the browser for the content encoding
And even when I open the same address the text shows using iso-8859-1
For example (this is portuguese):

Using any browser i get: crianças

When i fetch using my code I get: crianÃ§as

Is there any way to get it right, or convert it? 😕

I strongly suspect the text file has been written in UTF-8.

However, there is no way (in the general case) to know what encoding a text file has been written in, you're just going to have to assure that whoever or whatever has written it, has done it in the right encoding.

Thanks for your reply Mark,

When you open it with a browser and check the source, everthing seams fine
But when i grab with my code the words with accent are not ok

Any help please?
Thank you
