note 71717 deleted from ref.curl by nlopess

Note Submitter: dan at relax dot dk ---- This really bugged me for a long time... I have created a curl class, that I use every day - unfortunately some people just won't stay within the standards, so sometimes I get some HTML with lots of weird characters, that were supposed to be ie. ø... but looks all weird! curl doesn't support encoding, but I've found, that this is what is needed to convert those annoying characters: Instead of the real character, you get 2 - the first is chr 195 and the other is the orginal character - 64 ~ (chr(2nd char)+64) = the original, intended character! Hope this helps some-one or more! :-) Heres a function that takes care of thos annoying chars: function charset_fix($TheString) { if(preg_match('/('.chr(195).')(.)/', $TheString, $match)) { $TheString = preg_replace('/'.chr(195).$match[2].'/', chr(ord($match[2])+64), $TheString); } return $TheString; }
