note 104342 added to function.mb-convert-encoding

I was having trouble parsing an Excel document to html, this seems to do the trick for character encoding. function decode_characters($info) { $info = mb_convert_encoding($info, "HTML-ENTITIES", "UTF-8"); $info = preg_replace('~^(&([a-zA-Z0-9]);)~',htmlentities('${1}'),$info); return($info); } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 134.29.32.193 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-encoding.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104342 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104342/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104342/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104342/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104342/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104342/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104342/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104342 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104342 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
