I am facing a strange issue when extracting data from a MySql database and inserting it in a CSV file. In the database, the field value is the following:
K Secure Connection 1 año 1 PC
When I echo
it before writing it to the CSV file, I get the same as the above in my terminal.
I use the following code to write content to the CSV file:
fwrite($this->fileHandle, utf8_encode($lineContent . PHP_EOL));
Yet, when I open the CSV with LibreOffice Calc (and specify UTF-8 as the encoding format), the following is displayed:
K Secure Connection 1 año 1 PC
I have no idea why this happens. Can someone explain how to solve this?
REM:
SELECT @@character_set_database;
returns
latin1
REM 2:
`var_dump($lineContent, bin2hex($lineContent))`
gives
string(39) "Kaspersky Secure Connection 1 año 1 PC"
string(78) "4b6173706572736b792053656375726520436f6e6e656374696f6e20312061c3b16f2031205043"
