A neat way to transcode between different encodings is htmlentities and html_entity_decode [1, 2] EXAMPLE: <?php # encode a string in UTF-8 to html entities $string = 'øæåöäü'; $string = htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); # transcode it into ISO-8859-15 $string = html_entity_decode($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'ISO-8859-15'); ?> There was a user with a similar problem at phpbuilder forums [3]. Have a closer look at it.
