I try to read a CSV and echo the content. But the content displays the characters wrong.
Mäx Müstermänn -> Mäx Müstermänn
Encoding of the CSV file is UTF-8 without BOM (checked with Notepad++).
This is the content of the CSV file:
"Mäx";"Müstermänn"
My PHP script
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<?php
$handle = fopen ("specialchars.csv","r");
echo '<table border="1"><tr><td>First name</td><td>Last name</td></tr><tr>';
while ($data = fgetcsv ($handle, 1000, ";")) {
$num = count ($data);
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
// output data
echo "<td>$data[$c]</td>";
}
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
I tried to use setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE.utf8'); as suggested here without success. The content is still wrong displayed.
What I'm missing?
Try putting this into the top of your file (before any other output):
ReplyDelete<?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
?>
