The php script language has no bearing on the output unless you have
characters In the php file itself.
We had some issue like this at work. They found a way using iconv to
to it but had to change because redhats iconv isn't updated. They do
something with saving the output to a utf8 encoded page and then
sending it out or something. I assume you're trying to have this be
used in excel?

Hi Everyone,
I need to export data from database with UTF-8 encoding to an csv
file. I am
outputing html tables with the Content Type set to msexcel.
The chinese texts came out as symbols. I tried
using mb_convert_encoding the text from UTF-8 to UTF-16LE
iconv from UTF8 to gb2312
iconv from UTF-8 to cp1252
Can anyone who has successfully export english text with chinese
characters
mixed in to CSV help?
Thank you very much,

Strictly speaking, a csv file won't contain HTML markup, so you should
probably just stick to delimited value lines in your file. Have you
tried changing the Content Type to text/plain and then save your PHP
script as utf-8. It's this last one that sometimes causes problems,
as I
believe it is needed for PHP to correctly output utf-8.
