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"
Comment on Re^4: best way to convert to UTF8 from UTF16
You have it backwards. What moritz posted wasn't an example, it was what you should actually use. On the other hand, the code you copied from the docs was an example.
