utf8没有在PHP中转换字符串

Question

Hello i have german client and i am getting string with german alphabet which i am trying to display properly in output.I tried utf8_encode to convert string but not working for me.

Code:

    echo "Desc Short=>". utf8_encode($obj->Desc_Short) . "<br>
";
    echo "Desc Long=>". utf8_encode($obj->Desc_Long) . "<br>
";

Output:

Desc Short=>Ablagefach mittig in Gepäckraumtrennwand;ESACO_UG(122)
Desc Long=>Ablagefach mittig in Gepäckraumtrennwand inkl. verschiebbarem Haltenetz

It seems you need to simply use utf8_decode and use php header to set encoding (or set encoding in HTML document).

For the following code:

<?php

header( 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' );
$x = 'Ablagefach mittig in Gepäckraumtrennwand;ESACO_UG(122)';

echo utf8_decode($x);

Output for this is:

Ablagefach mittig in Gepäckraumtrennwand;ESACO_UG(122)
