tryin read a unicode web page

[deepPHP]

hi there,

 

I've tried to read a hebrew web page in diffrent of ways such as CURL, SOCKTES, file_get_content, readfile.

i've also tried to add an aproperiate header(content-type: text/html; charset=unicode).

i opended a Sniffer program and sent the exactly headers that the browser sends to that specific website and it doesnt work.

 

 

thank you!

Define "doesn't work". Because the character encoding won't affect you getting the content, only when you try to do something with it.

i'm getting the data in the right way, but the encoding sucks it's messed up all the page's content to unreadable data.

do you get me?

is the page that displays the retrieved data UTF-8 (unicode) ? Otherwise, set it to UTf-8 in the php header() function and a HTML meta tag.

 

Also, if you are storing that data also make sure that the connection to the database AND the database itself is unicode as well.

Then whatever you're doing to "read" it is incorrect. You're getting the right data the right way, but reading it the wrong way.

 

Post some code.

Nevermind, I got it work!
I used iconv to convert windows-1255 to utf-8.

iconv("windows-1255","UTF-8",$ch); 

thank you anyway
