UTF-8 problems while reading CSV file with fgetcsv



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?

  1. Try putting this into the top of your file (before any other output):

    <?php

    header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');

    ?>

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
