File encoding problem

[mraza]

Hi, I have few files which i need to display in correct format and also save in db to use. My problem is here is my code:

$file =  "C:\\file.txt";
$data = file_get_contents($file);
$data = '<pre>';
$data .= mb_convert_encoding($file, 'UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1');
$data .= '</pre>';
echo $data;

 

but when i echo $data i get weird characters . here is result

Thanks for any help.

You didn't change the encoding of the file data - just the filename.

 

$file = "C:\\file.txt";
$data = file_get_contents($file);
$data = mb_convert_encoding($data, "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1");

// header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8");
echo $data;

try this

 

$data = htmlentities($data, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8");

 

echo $data;

my code again:

$file = "C:\file.txt";
$data = file_get_contents($file);
// tried three of them one by one and together etc but same problem.
//$data = mb_convert_encoding($data, "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1");
//$data = htmlentities($data, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8");
//header("Content-Type: text/plain; UTF-8");
echo $data;

thanks for any help.

header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8");

 

Change text/plain to text/html if you're going to be using it inside html code.

my code

$file = "C:\file.txt";
$data = file_get_contents($file);
// tried with this too
// $data = mb_convert_encoding($data, "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1");
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");
echo $data;

 

also when i did detect i get UTF-8 Result

$data = file_get_contents($file);
echo mb_detect_encoding($data);
// echoed UTF-8
