Re^2: best way to convert to UTF8 from UTF16

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"	[reply]

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.	[reply]
