I have a php page that reads a text file on the server. It gets the
first line of the file and if I echo the line it appears fine.
Anything I do after that to try to split the line generates garbage
characters (I'm guessing from mixed up encoding).
How do I control the output of php string functions so the character
encoding doesn't change on me? I've tried using setlocale() to no avail.
Here's a sample of the code I'm using:
<?php
$myFile = "incoming/mytestfile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fgets($fh);
fclose($fh);
print $theData;
$pieces = split(";", $theData);
echo $pieces[0];
?>
