I have a script which imports data from a CSV file to a mysql Database;
the CSV has strings like this
somethingcô-SOMETHING
see the ô,
now when i import this to the DB it only saves the "something" part only.
I was trying out many things, htmleitities, mysql_real_escape_string etc, but non of them converted the string to UTF-8.
I was trying to manually escape, using a huge array of Special characters and then i found out that then reading the file "ô" doesn;t read as "ô" but something else.
any help on this will be grand
