Thank you both ! You solved my problem but for some reason I don't know, I couldn't "like" it

Hi everyone, My text file contains the following string: "ãéðä". My PHP batch to convert that string goes like this: <?php $text = iconv("UTF-8","ISO-8859-1", "ãéðä"); echo $text; ?> When I run the code I get the converted text I want . In a case i have more then one such string, I use the following code: <?php $myFile = 'test.txt'; $myHandle = fopen($myFile,'r'); $myText = fread($myHandle, filesize($myFile)); $ridComma = explode(',',$myText); foreach($ridComma as $item) { $text = iconv("UTF-8","ISO-8859-1", $item); } fclose($myHandle); ?> This time I get the following error: With the same conversion function I get the conversion in one batch and an error in the other ! Could anyone explain me why? Thanks !
