RE: [PHP] Newbie: Array of objects iteration

Dear all, it's done. Can I call your help for the remain issues please, I'm sure they are easy to explain, and at some extend, common: http://pastebin.com/m691d3e66 Instead of saving to the database, if I do a print_r or a var_dump, I get the charsets quite ok. However, they do not appear properly in the xls file. I've tried to use utf8_encode but I was not sure where to apply it, and I end up with the same strange chars on the .xls file. If I write a <meta tag containing charset information on the script that generates the file, I get headers already send message. I've tried to add Content-type: application/x-msdownload; *charset=UTF-8;* but no success either... Would a proper use of utf8_encode solve this? If so, where? Thanks in advance, M.
