cURL output font

[The Little Guy]

I am using cURL to get the title of a page (if there is one).

 

Some sites, such as http://aria.ru/ are not in English, so I think my php doesn't know what to do with the text, so it is giving symbols back to me. I do believe that the "Arial" font does support this language, because in "Notepad" it displays the text just fine in "Arial".

 

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $_POST['s']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");
$opt = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $opt;

 

Does anyone know why the text shows as symbols, and how I can fix it?

Most likely the issue is the Charset. I am not sure what charset you are displaying your page in, maybe try using the charset from that page or UTF8.

They have this: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251">

 

So.. I copied and pasted it, and it still displayed symbols.

I just added this to my curl:

 

 

$headers = array('Content-type: text/html; charset=windows-1251');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

 

And still no luck
