Question on Character Encoding


Scooby08

Recommended Posts

I am pulling information from an XML file that is ISO-8859-1 encoded and then am inserting that info into a database.. My script is UTF-8 encoded.. The sql has this CHARSET=utf8..

 

The XML file has some info like so: 4½

 

And after inserted into the database it's like so: 4½

 

Just wondering if there's some way I can take care of those so that when they are inserted into the database it doesn't have that funky character in it.. I also have no control over the charset if the XML file..
