    Hi,
    I tried this: from_to($text, "iso-8851-1", "utf8");
    but nothing happened. It looks the same. Am I doing something wrong?

      Why did you change the provided code?
[reply]
        because when I looked up this function 'from_to()' I didn't see any arguments that looked like the one you provided in your example. When I tried your example from_to($texst, 'UTF-16le', 'UTF-8') I received an error saying "unknown encoding 'UTF-16le' at line #n"
