Thank you Peter. Can you please advise if mb_detect_encodin does detect the file type by its structure / content? Thanks Eli On 22/05/2011 10:12, Peter Lind wrote:

Dear Peter, But my point was different. If you DO NOT have any BOM of a File does mb_detect_encodin can detect the file type by scanning the whole file ??
A few points: 1. top-posting on this list is frowned upon. Please bottom-post. 2. I did not write anything about BOM as far as I can recall. Neither does the page I linked to contain much about BOM (I really suggest reading it - as pointed out, the first comment should help you) Regards Peter
