#49231 [Opn]: iconv doenst handle iso-8859-15 well

ID: 49231 User updated by: jochem dot blok at fasterforward dot nl Reported By: jochem dot blok at fasterforward dot nl Status: Open Bug Type: ICONV related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.2.10 New Comment: When I try this: <? header('content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15'); echo iconv('utf-8','ISO-8859-15',html_entity_decode(utf8_encode('&euro;'),ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) ?> It works in a browser. Debugging in Zend Studio gives the wrong character. It seems that Zend Studio uses the editor encoding or something like that. When I change the encoding (under Desktop) to ISO-8859-15 it works! Your snippet also gives a4, which is correct in both the browser and Zend Studio. It seems to be an Zend Studio issue :) Thanks for pointing me to the solution.

I was unable to reproduce the problem. Are you sure that PHP outputs the wrong character? It could be the tool you use to view the output has a problem displaying the euro character. Try the following code: echo bin2hex(iconv('utf-8','ISO-8859-15', html_entity_decode('&euro;', null, 'UTF-8'))); // should output a4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-12 10:30:38] jochem dot blok at fasterforward dot nl Description: ------------ iconv doenst handle iso-8859-15 well.
