Re: Characters in an uploaded text file being corrupted

Ok, and, again, it hasn't completely eliminated issue, but has seemed to sort out certain characters, but, not all of them..?

Ok, and, FWIW, this test text file is a word document that have saved as a text file, and when now resaved it using specifically unicode encoding, it seemd to eliminate this issue, but would have thought there might be a relatively simple way to handle something like encoding conversion in PHP itself..?

This is currently being run/tested under WAMP, on a windows7 64 bit machine, FWIW.
