Old File containing Hebrew - opens with gibberish

[roughie]

Years ago, using PHP 4, and Homesite on Windows,

I had an array in a php file.

The file contained Hebrew text in some array entries.

 

Now, using PHP 5 on a Mac development environment,

and wanting to rejuvenate my ancient code,

I cannot correctly open that php array file because the

Hebrew is transformed into illegible characters.

(Echoing the output yields gibberish as well.)

 

I now use TextWrangler as my text editor, but opening it

in TextEdit too fails to display the stuff properly.

 

Can you help me reslove this problem? Thanks much.
