stupid encodings -.-

Ok.. so i have been trying to convert Encodings and failed. Yes i know, but every time i try it well.. it fails. Clearly i am doing something wrong so i need a lil help :P.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

                    

$myFile = "includes/docs/quotepend.txt";

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');

$theData = fread($fh, filesize($myFile));

fclose($fh);

function fixEncoding($theData)

{

  $cur_encoding = mb_detect_encoding($theData) ;

  if($cur_encoding == "UTF-8" && mb_check_encoding($theData,"UTF-8"))

    return $theData;

  else

    return utf8_encode($theData);

} // fixEncoding

echo '<div class="HASHLISTPHP">' . $theData . '</div>';

That is what i have in my coding. Its simple its just a page reading a text file... but the encoding is still coming out all spoony E.G. -Ŧķ-κıℓℓεя turns in to -Å¦Ä·-ÎºÄ±â??â??ÎµÑ when read on the page lol.

That is a convert script i got from an example on a site so i dont know if thats correct or if its just the script is in the wrong place.

Thanks

Hmmmm... can you attach the file or put a link to it so I can have a fight with it, looks like clan names to me, and people tend to use funky name generators that use all sorts of char sets..
