Convert ascii

[merlin371]

Hey guys I'm having a bit of a problem trying to convert this string to UTF-8 encoding

 

組ですが、 中には５－ ６本のおす すめ番組の エッセンス が、ぎっし り詰まって います。

 

I've used

$strTem = mb_convert_encoding($strTem, "UTF-8", "auto");

and while that detects the correct current encoding it doesnt change it at all and utf8_encode doesnt work at all, dont know what to use.

 

Thanks

The page where you are displaying the data also has to have the correct charset. Given that is all the code you have given I am not sure exactly what the problem is. Can you elaborate on "doesnt work at all". Thanks.

Sorry I'll give a better example, was reading again and noticed it makes no sense , look at this code

 

$stringer = "&#65";
$str = mb_convert_encoding($stringer, "UTF-8", "ASCII");
echo $str;

 

$stringer is A in ascii code, if i the code goes trough all the way it will of course output A on the browser but if you go look at the page source it's still &#65, were if i were to just replace stringer with the actual letter A the page source will show the letter A, what I'm trying to do is to get the script to convert the ascii code with the equivalent letter and output the letter over the code. If you get what i mean

 

Thanks

These are not ASCII codes. These are HTML entities. Use html_entity_decode
