Hi, So now i know how to import the content of the CSV file to database, however, before to import to database i do a simple test. in fact, i display in my browser all content of my CSV file. unfortunately, not all characters are displayed correctly. in PHP page include <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> but it does not help to display the Slovak Characters which are correctly display in EXCEL when i open the CSV file with it. i tried to display a standar slovak web page in my browser and it works perfectly well. So where could be the problem ?
The Content-Type needs to match the file type, so if the file is not UTF-8 extended characters will not be displayed correctly when it's displayed as UTF-8. Try removing that meta tag and see what the browser makes of the file by guessing. -Stut -- http://stut.net/
