ok well i found a few things on the net but got a bit stook lol i need a bit of help...

i got this and put it in to my script

PHP Code:


			
// Fixes the encoding to uf8
function fixEncoding($thetag)
{
  $cur_encoding = mb_detect_encoding($thetag) ;
  if($cur_encoding == "UTF-8" && mb_check_encoding($thetag,"UTF-8"))
    return $thetag;
  else
    return utf8_encode($thetag);
} // fixEncoding

testing all this out i found that for some people the letters in the text file come out all messy and for some it come out perfectly fine... what could be causing this?? help appriciated!
