A UTF-8 issue I've encountered is that of reading a URL with a non-UTF-8 encoding that is later
displayed improperly since file_get_contents() related to it as UTF-8. This small function should
show you how to address this issue:
<?php
function file_get_contents_utf8($fn) {
$content = file_get_contents($fn);
return mb_convert_encoding($content, 'UTF-8',
mb_detect_encoding($content, 'UTF-8, ISO-8859-1', true));
}
?>
