Hello everybody,

I am having some trouble with utf-8 encoding. The html file containes
chinese characters and looks ok, when opened in a browser.

Now I want to extract some text from the file. In order to do this I
do:

$handle = fopen($file, "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($file));

echo $contents;

The chinese characters are gone by then. They show up as questinomarks
or wired characters. To fix it I tried to add:

$contents = utf8_decode($contents);
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");

But still... no luck :-(

Has somebody an idea why??

Check that the page really is displayed with the right encoding - in FF,
Ctrl-I.

yes it is. I checked it. UTF-8.

It looks like it has to do something with wget, the programm I used to retrieve the file. Or Linux itself. The language-pack for china is not on the suse box, and I can't even find the chinese language through yast "languages". This might explain, why I can open it from a mounted samba share directly, but not through the apache webserver who reads it from the linux system.

Did somebody else have such a probl. before?
